In a recent interview with a publication, the author spoke about his latest collaboration for 'Asterix' series. He told RTL, "At the end of December, I sent a synopsis to Albert René editions with the first storyboards. They must have said to themselves: 'This one is going to make us run'. Then it took me two months to complete everything. It was quite fast."
He added, "It's the best gift anyone can give me. I was fed Asterix. From an emotional point of view, it's my whole childhood. I grew up with it, and it's been with me all my life. There are such different degrees of reading that the more you read the albums, then you discover things that you hadn't seen. It's a super cosy thing. For me, Asterix is childhood. At seven, or eight years old, I didn't understand everything. The puns, the references, but it brought me a lot of things".
