Asterix: Latin Jokes Explained

Picture
In the English versions of Asterix, the Latin jokes are not translated or explained. Very few Asterix fans know Latin. Some may know Veni Vidi Vici, or even Alea Iacta Est, but that's about it.
These links will take you to my blog, where I not only translate the Latin, but also try to tell you why it's funny.


Note - I will eventually do the whole series of books! It won't take that long, but I have a massive backlog of comics and other material to put on the blog first. Please check back!
