Asterix and the Big Fight

This time it's Vitalstatistix's turn of defending the Gaulish tradition of the Big Fight. It occurred when one of the tribes wanted to take over another and its chief challenged his counter part in the fight with the winner becoming the ruler of both. This was the ploy that the Romans of Totourm now tried by employing Cassius Ceramix, a Gaulo Roman ruler of Linoleum to challenge Vitalstatistix. Problem was that Getafix, at this critical time, lost his memory, thanks to Obelix and his menhir, the knock of which was the cause for the disaster and thus the serious disadvantage of unavailability magic potion seemed to stare in the face of the Gauls, all except Obelix. As a new druid, Psychoanalytix was called in, he too lost his memory in no time, again Obelix and his menhir and also his feeble brain sharing the responsibility. Thus it remained to be seen whether Getafix could be cured and the tribe saved by Vitalstatistix. This also offers a series of clashes with the Romans and each time the hilarious situations will keep the readers smiling their heart out till the last page.
