Welcome to Litsy!

(1965) Astérix, Obélix, and Panoramix go to Egypt to help build a temple that will settle a bet between Cleopatra and Caesar. Hijinks ensue, but the usual fun is soured in this one by some racist caricatures that should really stay in the 1960s.

I did a reread of this childhood favourite in the original French. I‘ve always loved this explanation of how the Sphinx‘s nose was broken.

This fills my 1965 slot for the #192025 challenge. @Librarybelle

Very sad to hear that Asterix' founder Albert Uderzo passed earlier this week at the ripe old age of 92.
Thank you Sir, my childhood reading habits soared when I found my father's stash of Asterix and Tintin comic books. My world would not be the same without them.

Christmas tradition. Also, where my ID comes from.

1�⃣ Someone was talking about it on Twitter, but it took a year before the Android app came out
2�⃣ Can I get a full head of hair back?
3�⃣ There are so many! I've not had snake yet.
4�⃣ I don't think I feel guilty about watching any show. I watch too many home reno shows when I could be reading, but I don't feel guilty about it much.
5�⃣ Tournevis is Amonbofis's henchman in tagged. Been that online since 2002.

As per @kaye's question: how I came about my online name.

I've been Tournevis online since 2002. He's Numérobis's henchman in Astérix et Cléopâtre, one or the best animated musicals ever made.

By the by, this is Tournevis. You're welcome.

Tournevis has been my online name since the early 2000s on fanfic BBSs and on LiveJournal. I've been online since before the advent of graphic interfaces like Mosaic (I'm old), but I later adopted Tournevis because I liked the throwback to Astérix et Cléopâtre (the animated movie) and its little shifty henchman. It's been a nifty way to hide my identiy.

MOVIES! These are my five favorite movies which I own as physical media. 📽�Astérix et Cléopâtre is my no1 of all time. My online name is taken from it.

📽�Citizen Kane, 📽�Wizard of Oz, 📽�An American in Paris and 📽�Singin' in the Rain would displace all four after Astérix if I owned them in DVD/Blue-Ray.

Another set of books that I loved as a child were the Asterix & Obelisk books. Once I got my library card for our local library system, I was set free as a reader! I read every copy of these books in the library multiple times, and loved every single read through. Definitely on my list of #LizsLibraryLoves

I inherited these from my mother. She is not dead just done with these. I don't read too many comics nowadays but during my childhood I must have read these about a thousand times.
