The Crazy Chase (An Adventure of Dogmatix, the mascot of Asterix and Obelix)
by Goscinny & Uderzo, trans. Frances Vanner (Hodder Causton, 1974)
12-page picture book aimed at very young children. Goscinny’s text is in prose form and lacks the punch of his speech-based narratives. The format affords space for Uderzo’s art but the story is lamentably slight, of interest primarily for naming Mrs Geriatrix.
