But what's going on in the Asterix Village? Asterix and Obelix's missive has been notable for its absence, and you could even be forgiven for believing that the days were just passing by peacefully in the little Village that we know so well, without anything important happening… Is it because the Gauls decided unilaterally to take longer holidays than usual? No, not at all! In fact, the first news of important events is already creating a hubbub in the Village huts….Everything began a few months ago when the great master Albert Uderzo decided to bring together his indomitable team. What was going on? Puzzled glances, betraying impatience as well as intrigue, were exchanged among the learned gathering of druids brought together by the Maestro. They all knew, without a shadow of a doubt, that Albert Uderzo had something big in mind, which would soon be news for the millions of Asterix fans across the world… Thus it was in this solemn atmosphere that an overjoyed Albert Uderzo quipped "I've got an idea!" before quickly rattling off an impressive series of inventions, leaving the first Gaulish witnesses of his Asterix projects dazed with excitement. One thing was now clear: the coming months would mean lots of work for everyone in the village if Asterix was to make an indelible impression on the year 2009 AD!  And this is why, having been working flat out on the preparations for this great celebration, we're a little bit behind in delivering you the new Asterix and Obelix missive. Which isn't to say, incidentally, that nothing has been going on in the virtual village at www.asterix.com: proof of which comes with this new missive, a wonderful roundup of all the key events of these last few weeks! |
