Martyste Tendertail | The menhir on the back cover clearly showed it was the last book at the time. Goscinny was still around. | |
Martyste Tendertail | Curiously, when Mrs. Geriatrix talks nicely to Obelix while he's being the richest in the village, her text was shown in pink... is it still the case nowadays? | |
Filip5011 | I can check | |
Filip5011 | Unless I'm blind, it isn't | |
Filip5011 | but I do remember seeing coloured speech bubbles in other comics, but I forgot which... | |
Stinkek | There was a comic where a one-time character made people aggressive with his mere presence. Their speech bubbles would turn green. | |

Martyste Tendertail | Well that was colored text, not bubble | |

Martyste Tendertail | I just found out a date written on one of the pages... It seems this copy of Obelix and co. was purchased around June 17th 1976. It was sent to my uncle when he was apparently in the hospital, likely as a pass-time. It says in there my mother hopes her brother comes home soon. It's unclear to me who wrote it. It could be my aunt, but neither my mom or grandmother due to the handwriting not matching. | |
Martyste Tendertail | So, it was, *really* , a fresh print. | |
