Albert #Uderzo left us today... "Astérix" was certainly the first comic I read and his generous curved drawing style had a big impact on my way to draw. Rest in peace.

Interesting social side-note here these days.
It is not the first one where I see in a Wikipedia article about a person recently passed away something like: "...the heart attack was not linked to the coronavirus pandemic"
@davidrevoy Chouette hommage David.
@davidrevoy
Pour ma part, je me rappelle aussi les avoir lu petit, et continuer à les lire en grandissant, en découvrant avec plaisir tous les gags et les jeux de mots qui m'étaient passés au-dessus quand je n'avais pas l'âge de les comprendre :)
Ces gens-là ne meurent jamais vraiment.
Savez tu que le personnage préféré d'Uderzo était Obelix ?
Quelque part ce personnage était plus à son image.
@davidrevoy My goodness, I didn't realize he was still alive! My father used read him as a child!
My sympathies for your loss
@davidrevoy one of the first characters I learned to draw
@davidrevoy
Read them all countless times in childhood. One of the most important comics of my life. Thank you for this shoutout.
@davidrevoy nicely done tribute
Perhaps in memory we should do a movie night with some Astérix movies.
@coolboymew @mangeurdenuage
I'm not sure yet. I'll let Guizzy and CoolBoyMew and MDN decide since they'll know all the good ones.
@davidrevoy It was sad to see him and his legendary series, but I unfortunately didn't read the entire pages on it since two decades ago.
@davidrevoy Magnifique même si triste.
