I finally got around to it recently and have watched most of the first four seasons (half way through the most recent series) in the space of a couple of weeks. Am totally addicted and looking at the handful of eps I have left to go with trepidation because when its over, I'll be bereft. Just have to go back and watch them all over again I guess.</p>Tony.T commented on 'CIVIL PHWWARRR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d834f9240369e22006-11-09T04:27:18Z2007-08-19T06:18:57ZTony.Thttp://aftergrogblog.blogs.com/agb/Sounds the biscuit, Alistair.

Which was appropriate I suppose, since we were reading Asterix for French class. AND Latin! Who'd have thought my school would be so cheap.</p>

<p>I still cracus upus at "Varius Flavus" and "Curius Odus" -from "Asterix In Switzerland"</p>
<p>All the English versions of the Asterix books represent one of the most sustained virtuoso translation efforts in modern history. In fact, a very bilingual Frog once confided to me, while looking aroundus furtivli, that the English versions were funnier.</p>Nabakov commented on 'CIVIL PHWWARRR'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d834f7142d69e22006-11-02T12:04:08Z2007-08-19T02:20:03ZNabakov"Obelix is being taken to Rome to be Atia's love slave."

<p>Asterix and Obelix are past tense, now.

Gritty, dirty, funny etc. And set, like "Homicide: Life On The Streets", in Baltimore - a steamy little city which seems to attract some seriously out there visual storytellers from John Waters to Barry Levinson.</p>
<p>Back to 'Rome'. For some reason I'm reminded of the old Monty Python gag '"Gore Vidal's Caligua". Or at least he he wishes he was.'</p>
