"I did. Why are you only asking men?
Weetabix did a promotion on their 24 packs where you cut out the characters and scenery and built a village.

What is this reading to which you refer.
Don’t you know that reliable information is only available from Tik Toc and Instagram.
All other forms of brainwashing such as books are purely the propaganda of the ruling classes |

I read them when I was younger. And in response to the other thread, never read Tintin but watched the cartoon |

"...my dear chaps, when you were very young did you read Asterix the Gaul? (or Asterix and Obelix)"
Yep. I had 12 of their illustrated books  Seeing how they'd always beat up on the Romans was hilarious  |

"Yes. Used to get them through the mobile library van that visited every week.

Mr. Bites, you were in prison??  "
Just how we rolled.
The library board had multiple vehicles that stopped off in all the housing estates for a couple of hours every week. 2-4 on a Tuesday for us so just made it home from school in time  |

Thank you for this, fine sir. It's quite endearing.  |

I had an Asterix annual or two when I was a child, but I was far more interested in the Famous Five novels and pretty much anything by Roald Dahl. The only comic I read was The Beano, at least until I discovered Judge Dredd. |

Yes! Those and the Tintin books by Hergé used to be passed around the class when I was at primary school. I loved both. I'm probably a bigger Tintin fan though.
Great snakes!
Thundering typhoons! |

"Yes and I'm pretty sure I still have a few tucked away somewhere.
Why do you ask OP?"
•
I ask because I desire variety. It was either this or "how long is your cock", "what flavour semen" or "I fart like the vicar" † type of thread. |

I used to read Victor, and then Warlord. I wanted to be a soldier! (Actually, I wanted to be a Royal Marine).
I occasionally saw Asterix and didn’t mind a bit of him!

Yes, but I was never that keen.
I read Latin American/Spanish comics … La Familia Burron, Mafalda, Condorito, Mortadelo y Filemon - and American ones, Peanuts and the super hero ones from my brother. |

I was brought up in SEAsia and whilst being exposed to American Peanuts cartoons, I also had the right wing evangelical American cartoons, such as the story of Nicky Cruz in the 'Cross and the Switchblade', or little 'tracts' which basically scared you about hell (such as 'This was your life')  |

Interesting. I agree, Nicky Cruz was a hero - gangs in NY in 60s seemed horrendous.
People on here are fascinating with such varied lived experiences. |

As a kid, adored Asterix.
As a young adult, made a best friend who also adored it.
The humour was so clever - the woman who translated from the French to English added so much because a lot would have been lost in translation, but she kept Goscinny and Uderzo's humour and changed some character names brilliantly (I think Getafix the druggy druid, Dogmatix, and Chief Vitalstatistix were all from her mind, as the name meanings got lost in direct translation). |

No. I struggled with reading yet also I struggled/didn't like following the bouncing about order of anything presented in comic book form. Although my mate was a big fan and I did like looking through the illustrations in his Asterix books and the cartoon series on TV. It ticked my intrest in Historical theme's.
When I was a kid my favourite books were map books. I could read and understand maps clear as day and they are logical. I found a lot of joy in route planning and discovering all the awesome places out there to explore (especially before the internet was an everyday resource). Odd kid I know.

Not odd at all. I love map books and everything related to cartography.  |
