  • Chapter One Introduction
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study Reading books can be one of the choices for some people to spend their spare time. There are some kinds of book; they are novel, biography, poetry, drama, comics, etc. They have their own styles; however, the one that I find most interesting is comics. Comics can be described as “a form of visual art consisting of images which are commonly combined with text often in the form of speech balloons or image captions” <http: www.answers.com>. I like the way how the story of a comic is presented in frames and how the utterances are presented in the speech balloons. Moreover, I like the pictures and the language which is simpler to understand. I like to read comics especially funny comics. I like comics which have funny story, funny pictures and witty language. Usually we say that comics are funny because of the story, but actually, we can say that a comic is funny not only from the story itself, but also from the picture of the comic, or the witty language or speech that is used in the story. Maranatha Christian University 1 Wittiness is the ability to say or write clever, amusing things (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary 2005: 1755). There are a lot of ways to make witty language; one of them is by using language play. Language play is ‘an action of manipulating the language by bending and breaking its rules’ (Crystal, 1998: 1). We can find a lot of language play in comic books.

  • Rene Goscinny WHERES ASTERIX
    Goscinny was reared and educated in Buenos Aires and later worked on children’s books in New York City. In 1954 he returned to Paris to direct a press agency and soon became a writer for the “Lucky Luke” comic strip. In (14 August 1926 – 5 November 1977) 1957 he met Uderzo, a cartoonist, and collaborated with him on the short-lived “Benjamin et Benjamine” and, a year later, on the somewhat more successful “Oumpah-Pah le Peau-Rouge” (“Oumpah-Pah the Redskin”). In 1959 Goscinny founded the French humour magazine Pilote, and at the same time, in collaboration with Uderzo, began publishing “Astérix le Gaulois,” a comic strip that concerned itself with the adventures of a diminutive Gallic tribesman at the time of Caesar’s conquest of Gaul. The title character, Astérix, and his friend Obélix belonged to the only unconquered tribe, the “Invincible Gauls.” The Romans they opposed were generally made to look stupid and clumsy. Coinciding as it did with Charles de Gaulle’s rise to power in France, the strip reflected certain political sentiments that were widespread at the time. “Astérix le Gaulois” became widely popular and brought substantial success to both Goscinny and Uderzo. Goscinny was the scriptwriter of several other French comic strips, including “Les Dingodossiers” (1965–67), with Marcel Gotlib, and also was a principal in a French publishing firm. He was made a Chevalier of Arts and Letters in 1967. The “Astérix” strip was translated into 15 languages, and after its appearance in book form (1959) it sold more than 18,000,000 copies world- wide.

  • Caesar Vs. Cleopatra - the Power Clash; an Analysis of the Characteristics of the Historical Couple Portrayed in Asterix

Cleopatra - The Power Clash; An Analysis of The Characteristics of the Historical Couple Portrayed in Asterix KEYWORDS N. MEERA II. M.A. ENGLISH LITERATURE, ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE, TIRUCHIRAPALLI ABSTRACT Literature reflects our life and comics reflect the lifestyle of our society. Our creativity develops when we visualize things. This concept of visualization paved way for comics. A Comic can take a person beyond time and space. Popular comic series like Batman and Superman, takes us beyond the Earth and there are also fantas- tic comics like Asterix, Tintin, etc., that takes us back to trace the history. Asterix is a series of popular French comics. Throwing light upon the protagonist of the series, an imaginary character Asterix and the real historical hero vercingo- terix is the main aspect of this paper. The Asterix books introduce Roman history and also some vital events of France, which was once a colony of Roman Empire. The ambitious king Julius Caesar and his rule over the kingdom are illus- trated sarcastically in this series. Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, the two great minds are the reason for the birth of Asterix. This paper not only shows the unconquerable strength of the people of Gaul but also deals with the most popular historical couple Julius Caesar and Cleopatra.

  • Historicising Asterix and Obelix
    Volume II, Issue VII, November 2014 - ISSN 2321-7065 +LVWRULFLVLQJ$VWHUL[DQG2EHOL[$&DVHIRU*UDSKLF/LWHUDWXUH -\RWLVKPDQ.DOLWD $VVLVWDQW3URIHVVRU 'HSW2I(QJOLVK ''8&ROOHJH'HOKL8QLYHUVLW\ 'HOKL $EVWUDFW In this paper, I propose to prove that the Asterix and Obelix series, created by French artists Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, besides having a strong hold over popular culture, also inculcate deep roots of literary and aesthetic history, or in the theory of T.S Eliot, have a literary “tradition” (Eliot). Besides this, I also attempt to prove that by virtue of allusive references, this comic series attains satirical, subversive and historical sensitivity that can be placed within the larger bounds of historical materialism .H\:RUGV Asterix and Obelix, The mainstream, Structural approach, Graphic Literature, Art and Literature. http://www.ijellh.com 142 Volume II, Issue VII, November 2014 - ISSN 2321-7065 0DLQSDSHU In early June 2006, the final of the FIFA World Cup 2006 involving Italy and France was caricatured in a part of the French print media as a battle between Roman Legionaries and Gaulish Villagers. For the sake of a recreational sport, this allegorical print representation carried obvious tones of fun and excitement, but for any analytical purpose, historical, cognitive or perceptive, this idea presents a much more complex picture. By a slight elaboration in the frame of reference for the aforementioned fields of analysis, it is possible to narrow down the “complex picture” to a literary head: the cartoon series of Asterix and Obelix created by French artists Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo. There has been a fair battle in literary circles if a comic strip translated to a hundred languages worldwide qualifies to attain mainstream literary status.

  • Asterix in Belgium
    At the Belgian Comics Art Museum From 1 June until 3 September 2017 ASTERIX IN BELGIUM A playful exhibition about the northern Gauls One fine day, at the height of their career, Goscinny and Uderzo decided to tell the story of Asterix’ adventures among the Belgians, after already putting him through some laugh-out- loud moments on his travels half-way across Europe. Without ever taking a mocking tone, the two authors take ever such a cheeky pleasure in exploring the customs and traditions of this country, for which they feel great affection. After all, they both started their career in Belgium some 25 years earlier (1951). Julius Caesar’s famous quote in ‘The Gallic Wars’, which features in the frontispiece of this album: “Of all the Gauls, the Belgians are the bravest enemies I have ever faced.” , forms the crux of the story. Of course, this statement really irritates the life out of the inhabitants of a little Gallic village in Armorica, populated by indomitable Gauls. To pay homage to this ‘historical’ work of art, in which Nervians and Menapians end up battling side by side, and in which we witness the birth of Brussels and courier services, waterzooi and French fries, the Comics Art Museum has designed a particularly playful exhibition that gives everyone the opportunity to gauge the extent of their Belgian-ness… The Belgian Comic Strip Center - Museum Brussels Rue des Sables 20 - 1000 Brussels (Belgium) Open every day from 10 am to 6 pm.

Houzé: Asterix: A French Superhero Asterix: A French Superhero By Annick Houze French Cataloger, Harold B. Lee Library Every time I pick up an Asterix comic book, my mind goes back to a wintry Saturday morning in 1965. I was one of forty kids in a classroom learning a poem about French soldiers dying on a plain in the North of France. One student started giggling; he was reading the new Asterix comic. Asterix's friend Obelix had jumped into a swimming pool, and his weight had shifted all the water into a neighboring swimming pool. When the guard in the comic asked the chief of the Asterix, the hero of these adventures. Gauls where the Gauls were, the Taken from Asterix in Corsica, 1981. chief answered, "The Gauls are in Reprinted with permission. the full one" (the full swimming pool). The word "full" in French is "pleine" and sounds like the word "plain." Upset, our teacher asked the boy why he was giggling.
