Asterix and Obelix comics, characters and themes... 

Asterix and Obelix comic and themes...

Hard to say what was my favourite as memory and mediums changed / overwritten somewhat...

But characters and themes were always larger than life with Asterix and Obelix book / comics when younger anytime I saw them in school library or newspapers (anywhere else?).

I have to recall but for now I note this memory and more to come!

",,,15 board games, 18 films, 40 video games, and 1 theme park " !!!

And hope you can share too!...

+ Ethnic Stereotypes sections isn't too far off my cultural experience or just plain really similar to all cultures with sub-types of people ! Might be seen as racist or hard to accept in these political time but least harmful is this:

█ "Normans (Vikings)... don't know what fear is (which they're trying to discover), and in their home territory (Scandinavia), the night lasts for 6 months."

█ More examples pasted below (from same Wikipedia link)

☺Greeks are chauvinists and consider Romans, Gauls, and all others to be barbarians. They eat stuffed grape leaves (dolma), drink resinated wine (retsina), and are hospitable to tourists. Most seem to be related by blood, and often suggest some cousin appropriate for a job.

☺Normans (Vikings) drink endlessly, they always use cream in their cuisine, they don't know what fear is (which they're trying to discover), and in their home territory (Scandinavia), the night lasts for 6 months.

☺Belgians speak with a funny accent, snub the Gauls, and always eat sliced roots deep-fried in bear fat. They also tell Belgian jokes.

☺Egyptians are short with prominent noses, endlessly engaged in building pyramids and palaces. Their favorite food is lentil soup and they sail feluccas along the banks of the Nile River.

☺Persians (Iranians) produce carpets and staunchly refuse to mend foreign ones. They eat caviar, as well as roasted camel and the women wear burqas.

T☺he Jews are all depicted as Yemenite Jews, with dark skin, black eyes, and beards, a tribute to Marc Chagall, the famous painter whose painting of King David hangs at the Knesset (Israeli Parliament).
