Changes

There are numerous running gags in Asterix. One of the most famous is [[Obelix]] tapping his head and saying "These [people] are crazy!" whenever he discovers some oddity in culture: the lighthouse at Pharaos, the Roman baths, the Normans search for fear in ''[[Asterix and the Normans]]'', or any other difference. Another is that at the end-of-the-book feast, Cacofonix the bard is usually tied up and gagged to prevent him singing. There are exceptions to this, such as in ''Asterix and the Normans'', when his awful singing routed the Normans.

Another is a band of pirates which appear in almost every book after ''[[Asterix the Gladiator]]''. Whenever Asterix and Obelix meet them, the two Gauls sink the pirate ship. Although the pirates attempt to avoid all Gaulish vessels, inevitably Asterix and Obelix are on board the one they attack. In two books (''[[Asterix in Spain]]'' and ''[[Asterix and the Great Crossing]]'' Asterix and Obelix take all the food on board but leave the ship.
