Asterix was probably my earliest experience of reading translated work. Anthea Bell & Derek Hockridge managed to rewrite every French pun and wordplay into something that worked in English. A word for word translation would technically have worked but almost all of the humour would have been lost.

I refused to use ad blockers for years since many legitimate sites rely on that revenue to survive, but the internet, especially on mobile, is unusable without one these days.

Indeed. I'm just old enough to remember him being on TV at new year and I'm pretty sure he was in a panto I went to with school in the early 80's.

Who could have guessed that Whitburn, of all places, would fall for the lies of the frog faced fascist?
