Obelix


I got this postcard through the Postcrossing site. It arrived with a matching stamp on the back, chosen for a curious (but pertinent) reason:

"As you like the Smurfs,
I send you this card with the
stamp of OBELIX"


So I got this stamp:

  1. Great mail!
    However… I’m not sure if you like that card as much as I do (the pictured theme is ‘mass tourism’, and the correlation between smurflover-obelixlover in my case is 100% but might be lower in your case?).
    Anyhow: your blog post caused a smile from ear to ear :-)
    Well, all your blog posts cause a big smile! Though these card and stamps (I have these stamps btw) make me rise up from my lazy chair and immediately react :-)

    1. No way! I've read all the Asterix/Obelix albums several times (may be hundreds of times, for the oldest ones!). But I guess it is not the same for everyone, so it surprised me.

      I'm glad I made you smile. That's my goal!

    2. And I love the theme of the postcard as well. Being a victim of the mass tourism, I love any humorous take in the topic.

  2. This is great - so cool to have received another in the set, even though it took 9 years!

  3. Oh what a good memory. I used to read Asterix when I live in Italy!

    1. I used to live these more when I was younger. Time to read them again!
