Now that you say this, read a German book on Asterix and Obelix in the seventies published by Dumont that made a point how much of Goscinny’s humour is so brilliant it is untranslatable.
I disagree. There are some culture-specific references that don't get across, but on the whole there's very little lost, and actually quite a lot added.
