Commentary During Books Asterix in Belgium (Astérix #24)
In this one, Chief Vitalstatistix takes off for Belgium after hearing from a Roman patrol that they like being in Gaul because the Belgians are worse, and they don't mind getting thumped here...enraged, off the chief goes, with Asterix and Obelix not far behind.
The rest of the book involves the 3 Gauls bonding with the Belgians, and competing against to see who is better at thumping Romans.
It goes so far as to ask Caesar to officiate the competition, which angers him immensely, so he leads his armies to crush them once and for all.
Of course, the combined might of the Belgians and our 3 Gauls is enough to stop them entirely.
Caesar is embarrassed, both tribes agree they're equally good at thumping Romans, and a banquet takes place.
Shocker ;)

I love how every one in the book is so humorously funnyAs plots go this one may be Asterix's most straight-forward: Belgians and Amoricans compete to see who's the bravest. Cue even more of the story than normal devoted to Roman bashing, along with a load of Belgian sterotype jokes which were slightly lost on me. But even the laziest Asterix album is crammed full of enough puns, visual gags and running jokes (they were cabbage based this time round) to make it a worth while read. Oh, and Thomson and Thompson make a cameo appearance. To be precise,

Funny comic. Loved how Caesar reacts in the end. :DGood stuff.
Chief Abraracourcix hears an off-hand comment about the Belgians being considered the bravest of the barbarian tribes. A bravery contest ensues. The Romans are not happy. The volume starts slow but evolves into hilarious madness towards the end.My absolute favorite panel? On page 31, Dupont and Dupond announce: -Jules César est arrivé en Belgique.- Je dirais même plus: Cules Jésar est arrivé en Gelbique.
One of the best volumes in the series, with funny lines and smart connections. I like how meta the rivalry between the Gauls is, as a reference to both the French and the Belgian being prolific comic creators. There's even a reference/tribute to Tin Tin inserted in the story.Goscinny, the writer and co-creator of Asterix died during the making of this volume and from that point in the story it starts raining and the skies are darkened.
i felt it broke some of the rules of the Asterix stories and that brought it down
