Obelix and Co. (Asterix #23)
Watch out! Julius Caesar has devised his most cunning attack yet on the indomitable Gauls. He has sent Caius Preposterus, a graduate of the Latin School of Economics, to corrupt them by introducing big business into their little town. But will wealth and success bring the Gauls happiness...or trouble?

Berdasarkan saran dari Propesterus alumni Latin School of Economics, Julius Caesar memakai taktik ekonomi untuk mengalahkan orang-orang Galia pemberani ini.
Menhirs yang sebenarnya tak ada nilainya dibeli oleh Propesterus dari desa Galia, dengan harga tinggi yang terus dinaikkan. Hal ini menimbulkan kekacauan pada masyarakat Galia yang berubah orientasi ekonominya dari cara tradisi barter ke penggunaan mata uang. Dari masyarakat yang kental kekeluargaan dan gotong royong menjadi makhl...more

Excellent story with...wait for it... an actual message. That's right, it's a comic strip with a goal in mind. But what is the goal? Answer: Marxism.
Well, this may be gowing a bit too far, but as Wiki notes:
"

Obelix Co. – an excellent companion to Asterix and the Cauldron, flipping the premise to the side of capital; as a recent Roman business school grad prompts Obelix to mass-produce menhirs for Roman consumption
"The following passage will be difficult for those of you unacquainted with the ancient business world to understand, especially as, these days, such a state of affairs could never exist, since no one would dream of trying to sell something utterly useless..."
Hahahahahaha... What a hoot?!
One of the best satires i've read on capitalism.
And oh, Obelix & Co., has its use - unlike the menhirs. *grin*

Encore un album qui prend tout son sens quand on est suffisamment mûr pour le comprendre. Satyre du monde de la finance et de la spéculation, cette album est complexe sur le fond, mais très abordable dans sa forme.
"Vous y'en a avoir compris ?" Comme dirait l'autre.

Ce que j'ai tiré de ce livre c'est que le capitalisme c'est mal et ça rend décadent. Rendre décadent les gaulois, c'est la solution pour les vaincre selon ce tome des aventures d'Astérix. Quelle idée ridicule!!! Tout le bien de cette BD part en fumée simplement à cause de cette idée stupide. C'est une des pire histoire d'Astérix depuis le début.
Waktu mengajar materi perubahan sosial, saya langsung terpikir untuk memanfaatkan cerita ini!
Saya minta murid-murid saya menyusun urutan yang benar bagaimana warga desa Asterix yang tidak punya uang (karena tidak butuh) kemudian berlomba-lomba menjadi wirausaha bidang batu menhir :) Selain saya singgung tentang teori permintaan dan penawaran (ala Romawi yang ngawur di buku ini), mereka juga saya minta menganalisis asal mula kata-kata ini: "Kenapa kamu orang bicara seperti itu, ...more

Not quite up to scratch, but it was pleasing to see that post-Fordism had not yet affected the menhir industry.
It was great to see Obelix take prime place on the cover for a change!
It was a great book and oblix was getting ahead of him self (and fat).
Solo la lezione di marketing impartita da Caius Assurdus a Cesare (oggetto: le strategie di vendita dei menhir nel mercato romano) vale la lettura.
Great story as usual.
Ini adalah buku Asterix & Obelix yg paling terakhir saya beli, sekitar jaman SMP (taon 93-95) skr dah ilang entah kemana karena uda pindah rumah.
Yg masih jelas teringat dari cerita ini adalah, bangsa romawi mencoba menyibukkan bangsa galia dengan membeli menhir sebanyak2x-nya dari galia meski sebenarnya mereka gk tau mau dikemanakan menhir2x itu kekekeke..
Entah berapa liter tinta dan berapa drum bir yang habis utk membuat komik ini hohoho..

I love Asterix. I think it´s one of the best comics ever!
During my childhood, every summer holiday meant a visit to my grandparents house, which had a library of sorts, and a reunion with all my beloved characters from the Asterix and Obelix series. I never get bored of reading these, I've probably read them all a gazillion times over and enjoyed them immensely every time ...
Suka Asterix dan Obelix. Suka juga sama senimannya yang selalu jadi pelengkap penderita hahaha
Tapi gak bisa lupa dengan Bajak laut yang kulit hitam, dengan gaya bicaranya, "A'a 'alia!!!!!" Selalu pasrah kalau ketemu orang Galia...

A clever comic set in trans Alpine Gaul during the Roman Era, with the barabarian Gauls as the heroes and the Roman Legionaires as their bumbling opponents.
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!
semua komik q beri bintang 5 karena aq cita komik :D (mewakili semua komik di "rak buku" q)
