[Groop] OT Asterix

[Andrew Krakowski]

My wife works at a local independent book store so once in a while she gets a phone call "bring home X Asterix/Tintin". ;-)

I just read them from the library growing up so it's fun to build the collection now as an adult. 

I agree with Asterix having fun word play and those sure are fun to revisit as an adult.
