It was Cosplay Day at expatNERD. We’ve been running this for a while now and I am always surprised that more stores don’t do something like this. I mean why wait for a convention or a movie to come out to show us what you can do? Plus, there is something special and unifying about the experience of dressing up as your favorite characters, especially ones that you identify with.
Unfortunately, it can be triggering for some people, currently for unknown reasons.
But back to Asterix and Obelix. It was shocking when I realized that they did not make it over the pond. I mean, these two characters are not only beloved, but are globally recognized…outside of the United States I guess. Asterix and Obelix do share that same sacred space as Robbie Williams, Take That, and the metric system.
We do have some interesting strips coming up. Franka told me this will be the start of a Curt-focused storyline, bringing us closer to his secret ‘origin’ story.
Make god help us all.
