From a Garth Ennis interview:

MTV Geek: I can understand that experience! I lived in Europe for a few years and grew up with titles like Tintin and Asterix and Obelix.
Garth Ennis: I love Asterix and Obelix! It’s great and super sarcastic. The way the characters talk to each other is just wonderful.
Geek: It’s such an adult comic while also being suitable for kids. I love comics that can transcend the boundaries of age.
Ennis: It’s that classic multi layer thing. The kids see the brightly colored funny people and big fat Obelix doing ridiculous things, while the adults are looking at the beautiful dialogue and the clever subtext and historical aspects. What a wonderful comic!
