Funny that the first I heard of Goths, Ostrogoths and Visigoths was in an Asterix comic. I now wonder how much of the Asterix universe is historically accurate.

- btilly 13y agoI now wonder how much of the Asterix universe is historically accurate. Most of it! That is what makes it so funny! It is chock full of references to actual historical stuff, and in jokes that you have to know a lot to get. You can enjoy it as slapstick, but there is tremendous depth to the series. I'm always amazed that it never caught on in the USA. Certainly everyone I've introduced it to has liked it!
