I like all the simple clever techniques and the sheer range of elements used by Michael Jasper to make this little scene of Miraculix Panoramix brewing a potion. Lots of “What is that?” and “How did he do that?” to keep the eye entertained.

AH C’est magnifique!
My mother grew up in a french speaking country and used to watch Asterix the gaul, so when I was young she found a video of it for us. It’s probably the best cartoon show ever.
I’m going to wager that he’s stirring up a pot of the magic strength potion that gives the gauls their fantastic strength so that they can fight off the romans
Here’s a funny note:
In the English versions he’s called “Getafix”
A cute pun on the fact he makes magic potion for the tribe and they have to “get their fix” of it from him…
Ianxintrospect, it’s actually a comic, not a cartoon… it’s one of the best comics ever but the cartoon is just a bit less impressive.
What a great Panoramix / Miracolix! (Or Getafix, I like that English name). Fantastic part use, I love that crown for a splash. And the classic legs for a robe.
I’m not sure I recognize the brown/grey thing he holds, is that Lego?
Being a huge fan of Asterix I cant help but have to comment on this. Because it’s brilliant.
(The brown and tan things are peculiarly coloured lever handles.)
Asterix was part of my childhood and I still have most of the books. The English translators definatly earned their money. Great built, love the crown splash
