“BD” refers to Franco-Belgian comics, but let's open things up to include ALL Euro comics and GN's. Euro-style work from around the world is also welcome!

* BD = "Bandes dessinées"
* BDT = Bedetheque
* GN = graphic novel
* LBK = Lambiek
* LC = "Ligne claire"

I seriously thought "why is the rule 63 Asterix called Comma? Where is the connection there?" And only after wards did I face palm.

But can anybody explain the upper right and lower one for me? Is it just "what if angry" and "what if relaxed"? Or is there any other connection/theme in combination with the names?

Edit: okay, the Asterswix in the upper right are switched in clothes.

An asterisk is the star punctuation (*); so it makes sense to use another punctuation as the alt's name. Also, while an obelisk is that pillar-like ancient Egyptian structure with a pyramid on top, "obel" also refers to the dagger punctuation in France (†).
