Asterix and Son by Albert Uderzo
4.0
One fine morning, while Asterix was educating the not so gentle Giant of where children come from, and dissuading his belief in the storks, they emanated a distinct cry from outside. Lo & Behold, what else was left in front of Asterix's door, but a newborn babe, as if delivered by the aforementioned stork.
As the whole village, or rather the women folk of the village begin pointing suspicious at the Bachelor and his gallivanting way, Asterix himself is livid, in righteous indignation at this unfound accusations. He vows to clear his good name of this accusation.
But seeing as how paternity tests were not yet a thing, the duo set out to ascertain the truth of the child's parentage. Much to the displeasure of the Romans stationed nearby.
Several hijinks, some plotting by a now serious Brutus, a magic potion powered toddler, and a legion of battered romans later, the paternity & maternity of the boy is determined. And said maternity rides atop a large podium and has a very pretty nose indeed. The other one has a tendency to 'Veni Vidi Vici'
Oh hell with all the convoluted clues, it's Caesar & Cleopatra. The parents are Caesar & Cleopatra Okay!
The only thing we need to concern ourselves with is that the bad guys got what they deserved, the boys had some fun, and the whole group (plus 3) had a splendid banquet on a ship nonetheless.
A straightforward chapter, but I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 for the cute Baby caesar.
