Campaigners pay tribute to Albert Uderzo, creator of the great comic moustache wearer Asterix
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has paid tribute to Albert Uderzo, the co-creator and artist of “Asterix,” who has died at 92. He drew the comic from 1959 to 2009.
The campaigners say that Asterix, the lead character in the comic books of the same name, has been one of the great fictional moustache wearers, promoting the cause of facial hair in popular culture.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, whatever Albert Uderzo’s original intention Asterix has become something of an anti-capitalist cult figure and no doubt his full moustache has had a role to play in that.
