A nice match. And no doubt Obelix and J. Wellington Wimpy would also get on well together.
Two of my favorites together at last! Thanks, Ross!
By the way, for another great Popeye crossover cover, check out this link:

Ah, Young Samson could lay both of them out flat!
And Jughead Jones could eat Obelix and Wimpy under the table. ;-)
I've sometimes described Asterix to non-comics fans as the Belgian Popeye.
@Anon #1: "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a wild boar today."
I didn't demand it--but I should have!
My only question is...how did Asterix get to modern Sweethaven?
Anyd my first guess would be...that Sigmund Freud-sounding scientist with the alarm clock-shaped time machine from Popeye's late Sixties cartoons. The ones where Bluto--for some reason--had been renamed Brutus (though still voiced by the late, great Jackson Beck).
And Superman tussled with ersatz versions of both these guys! http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/popeye/images/7/7f/Heroic_Brutaliky.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140909004217

Imagine if Getafix gave Popeye a sip of the potion, and Asterix had to resort to eating spinach. Hey, the spinach worked for just about everybody, right?
Now that would be something to see!
And for today's surprising trivia, Olive Oyl had been a comic strip star for over nine years before Popeye was introduced.
Maybe the potion is based on spinach, anyway?
@Oracle: More like co-star. The comic strip was Thimble Theater by Hal Seeger. And the stars for those first 9 years were Olive's brother, Castor Oyl, and his good friend Ham Gravy.
I knew about Asterix, Tin Tin, and the Smurfs long before my friends did in the 1980s, because i had cousins living in France and Belgium who would bring over their european comics to trade for my american ones. I was always disappointed that Spiro and Lucky Luke never crossed over to the states.
Lucky Luke was definitely available in English, as was Iznogoud, but I think that was a British publisher.
