Comment Obélix est tombé dans la marmite du druide quand il était petit #[nn]
With text by René Goscinny and art by Albert Uderzo, this charming 1989 Astérix album finally answers the question every fan has wondered about: just how did young Obélix end up in the druid's magic potion cauldron? The cover captures the moment perfectly — a chubby, red-headed little Obélix tipping headfirst over the rim of an enormous golden cauldron, while a wide-eyed young companion looks on in alarm from a small wooden step stool, all set within a stone-walled Gaulish dwelling hung with tools and a swinging pot. Uderzo's warm, expressive linework gives these childhood versions of beloved characters an irresistible energy that makes this a delight for longtime readers and newcomers alike.
