Asterix and Son ( original French title: Le Fils d' Astérix ) is the 27th Asterix band and released in 1983 in both French and German. Texted and drawn by Albert Uderzo was the album.

Action

Since Brutus, the adopted son and secretly an enemy of Gaius Julius Caesar, tries his son Caesar junior, in later albums Caesarion, to kill, to get to its heritage, it leaves his mother Cleopatra in the invincible, Gallic village of Asterix and Obelix bring, so that her son is safe there.

Asterix is one morning Caesar junior on his doorstep. When trying to breastfeed him he drinks accidentally also the potion and therefore ensures the village of unrest. Asterix and Obelix find by Caesar juniors clothes out that this must be from a noble family, and ask why in other surrounding Roman camps if anyone misses his child. However, the Romans know nothing.

While Charlie was in Brutus in Condate and learns that Caesar junior is present in the Gaulish village. Therefore, he gives the order to kidnap the baby. This is repeatedly wrong, because the baby still acts the potion. Therefore Brutus orders to torch the village. While the men fight the village against the Romans, the women take the children to the beach. There, however, also appears Brutus and grabs the child. Caesar junior tries to fight back though, but can not do anything because the potion has ceased to act. Brutus fled with the little sea.

The next day the battle has ended and the men learned of the kidnapping. Asterix and Obelix follow Brutus and the child. You return with him and the kidnappers, as Caesar appears. He wants to know of Brutus, what's going on, arrives at the same moment as Cleopatra and also informed him. Caesar swears that his troops build the burned village again and Cleopatra represents their galley for the final feast available at the mitfeiert Caesar.

Comments

Brutus and the prefect of Gaul are likely caricatures of Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. It is also the first and only time that the Romans manage to destroy the village. Furthermore, it is the first time since Asterix the Gladiator that the banquet, which otherwise always takes place at the end, is held on the day.
