>>Agree, Dragan. What is your daughter reading these days? < bg>

>Ever heard of Asterix? You chould hear soon, because the French have finally made a full sized movie out of it - AFAIK, the comic strips were started some time in early sixties, and won over all of the Europe, but nobody in the States knows about it. Well, I'm getting her to start reading Latin letters (she's already proficient with the Cyrillic). And this is only a pause, because we've recently run out of fresh Jules Verne :).

>I think the whole thing about chat as a voting conference is a big misunderstanding, in the least. Someone just counted those who responded to a new category thread _plus the few in the chat_, and then the snowball rolled on. Though, after six weeks of heavy rain, we're having a horrible heat (just like you had recently), and the snowball would be welcome :).

>I see the chat room as a perfect place for quick exchange of ideas, and generally having fun. I wouldn't possibly count on any voting here or in the chat - first, very few would vote, so we'd get a correct total from incomplete data.

The Washington Post printed Asterix in its large comics section for a few weeks back in the '70s. It didn't catch on. I have seen the books sold in some specialized book stores, some in English, some in French. I'm sure that it could be found somewhere in San Francisco, maybe not in regular comic book stores, but in more international stores that have humor books.
