[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

I will say, though, that my son has really enjoyed Asterix & Obelix, and I'm getting him into Spirou a bit as well.

Iirc, our sons share ages. I'll show him those work.

For Comics my daughter really liked Asterix, Tintin, Bone and Usagi Yojimbo.  I was surprised that she took the last two considering she hates any tv or audio that is remotely scary.

The Francois Bourgeon stuff is probably a bit older than 12 (my sons age)... I mentioned it mostly because I really liked it when I was in my mid to late teens.

As a 12-year-old I really enjoyed the Percevan series by Philippe Luguy and Jean Léturgie. That's also impossible to find in English (Fantasy Flight Games bought the rights and did a translation years ago, but they've been out of print for a long time).

Ok. Thanks for the recommendation.

Was Lucky Luke every popular in English Canada?

I still have some albums here, Le Pied Tendre, notably.  Tenderfoot.

The animation does not seem as funny as my childhood book:

Reminds me of that.  British aristocrat arrives in the far west and becomes so well integrated that in the end he joins the other cowboys to "welcome" a tenderfoot once he realizes it's his old nemesis from London.

I still prefer that vintage cartoon animation compared to the more recent attempt. Different media, of course.

Also, did you read La Belle Province album?

It's way after Goscinny and Morris...

Yes, I've read it.  Not bad, but not really on the level of Goscinny and Morris.
