Another fine Asterix in foreign country addition, at #20.
The traditional Wiki summary:
"The story begins with a banquet celebrating the anniversary of Vercingetorix's victory at the Battle of Gergovia. As part of the celebrations, the indomitable Gauls attack the local Roman camps. As a result, most of the Roman soldiers go on special manoeuvres to avoid the punch-up...

La migliore fra le caratterizzazioni “etniche” della serie. E non migliore perché fedele al modello, ma perché estrema e in sé coerente. I corsi immaginari di questa storia sono un personaggio in se stessi, tutti insieme. Alcune scene hanno letteralmente come “protagonisti” il loro maschilismo o la loro suscettibilità. Genio puro!
Bof! Ce n'est pas le meilleur Astérix de la série. L'histoire est la même que d'habitude. Elle n'est qu'un prétexte pour faire visiter un nouveau pays occupé par les romains et montrer quelques clichés de ce pays. Il n 'y a rien d'innovateur au niveau du récit. Au moins, il y a quelques bonnes blagues qui viennent enrichir la BD.
As Marseille and the really near-by Corsica are so aptly featured in this one, is has gained even more in my eyes as one of the best of the adventures of the Gauls. Such wonderful characterisation of country and people. A must read for all fans of BD. To enjoy "doucedoucedoucement...."
Asterix in Corsica – A&O provide an escaped Roman hostage safe passage back home. A spoof of either Corsican tribalism or the mafia… probably both.
Un très bon épisode, qui joue comme toujours sur les stéréotypes et les préjugés avec brio.
Peut-être un peu complaisant avec les Corses, mais bon, je suis pas objectif là...

Obélix :
- Oh ! Regarde ! Des sangliers domestiques !
Ocatarinetabellatchitchix :
- Non. Ce sont des cochons sauvages.

Love the killer stare, I've met people who can do this. Great book.
Maybe my favourite Asterix. I do believe I have read them all.
Highly entertaining!

I love Asterix. I think it´s one of the best comics ever!
For some reason, I missed a lot of the subtleties in reading this book as a child. :) Every time I re-read it, I laugh harder because I see more and more fun stuff. Asterix is just the greatest series of graphic novels ever.
Many of these were read and bought while overseas in 1998 & 1999. I'm not even sure which ones I read when, but I did my best guessing!
My favourite Asterix
