EDIT: Reminded my town had one of his "Kenny Rogers Roasters" restaurants but I never went before it closed pretty quickly.

Did anyone here ever get to eat at one of those? Was always curious and wish I could have tried it.

This is a pretty big one. This is probably one of the most popular franchises in France and all of Europe. I'm assuming it's written by other people now, but rest in pieces, Uderzo.

Uderzo retired from writing it in 2009.

RIP Kenny Rogers

I stumbled across an APNews article about that;

‘The Gambler’ was my favorite song and feel blessed to have whiteness him being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.

A pretty terrible error, and strongly suggests the article was written by a voice to text application and inadequately proofread. "Witnessed" would have read more naturally there.

They were good. Better than that Boston Market shit.

I was never a Boston Market person, yet they still survive somehow.

Uderzo retired from writing it in 2009.

Yes, the books have been taken over by writer Jean Yves-Ferri and artist Didier Conrad, I suppose it made sense to do it this way since Uderzo originally created the Asterix stories with writer Rene Goscinny at the beginning, before taking over the writing after Rene's death.

I think the first Asterix anything I saw was the 1976 movie "The Twelve Tasks of Asterix", which Uderzo co-directed, and was an original story not based on any of the books. I loved it.
