asterix

For some reason Asterix and Tintin were popular in the UK but other Franco-Belgian comics didn't take off.

Note that \star should be an asterix character, but I'm not sure how to escape it properly here.

They're out of business now; other than setting up my own asterix server, I don't know how to do that.

May be its me, but her style reminds me of Asterix comics.

Besides, I much prefer spending time with my son reading Asterix the Gaul comic books.

Hacker news asterix strikes again, eats multiplication sign.

Also, since Rackspace didn't communicate it that effectively: if you're on their first-gen infrastructure (your servers have an asterix next to them in the list), you won't get rebooted.

I think we're at least going to have to put an asterix on the tale of the guy that bent his phone in his pants pockets.

I use comics, in the case of french Asterix or Tintin, as easier but you can go with more difficult ones, the french don't lack of good comics.

The English translations of Asterix were brilliant and full of English-specific puns, presumably replacing original French puns (I have read some of them in French but my French is not really good enough for wordplay).

There was an article on HN in which the author was talking about the impressive translation of Asterix comics into English - not only was the translator able to make the English as pun-filled as the original French, but in most cases the translated puns were very similar in nature to the originals.

Asterix and Obelix got their clothes made by Edna Mode: "no capes!".

When I was a kid I was reading Asterix[1], Gaston Lagaffe[2], Spirou et Fantasio[3], Lucky Luke[4], Prince Valiant[5], The Phantom[6]" It is a culture thing.

Asterix isn't a superhero - he's just a normal guy till he has his potion.

Asterix and Lucky Luke humour still makes me laugh.

Asterix is an adventurer, not a superhero.
