So, not to ‘beat myself hoarse,’* but ah man… there’s just nothing like René Goscinny, i.e. the classic writer upon this series. <3

And yet, and yet… let’s give the new crew a chance, i.e. the new writers & artists assigned to carry on the series.
It certainly can’t be easy.
I remember seeing these in my teens and thinking the artwork was stunning. The characters looked so interesting. The English dialogue didn’t seem that interesting to me. I must revisit again in case it was just my age / comprehension.
Fyi they have changed authors over the years. But I have no idea how big that impact can be felt in the translations (I only ever read the german translations)
