I-Asterix ne-Obelix iyinhlangano yamahlaya ehunyushwe kakhulu emhlabeni ube ngezilimi eziyi-111 nezilimi ezingaphansi Ithengise amakhophi ayizigidi ezingama-335 emhlabeni jikelele. Abalingiswa ababili abahloniphekile besiko le-pop futhi abangamashumi eminyaka bebeyingxenye yezigigaba esizihlalile nabo nokuthi sijabule kanjani lapho benikela ngento yabo kumaRoma ahlambalazayo.

Abagcinanga nje ngokuvumela abalingiswa babo ababili abathandwa kakhulu, kepha futhi sinePanoramix nalelo dolobha lamaGaul angenakuphikiswa esasihlala naye izigemegeme ezimnandi nezijabulisa kakhulu.
