By Toutatis! A sad day for us all!

Astérix and Obélix creator Albert Uderzo died this morning at 92. - Imgur
I just heard this. SO many childhood memories. Dad used to read Asterix to me instead of books as a kid. That, or Lucky Luke.

My quotes are from memory from the Swedish translation, so if they are wrong… (Though all the translations were amazingly good, as far as I recall, regardless of language).

“…All of Gaul? One small village of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invadors!”

RIP. I read all the Asterix books, I don’t know how many times as a kid… This makes me sad.
