I grew up on Asterix comics in English. The main humour is around puns. The authors are French (or Belgian, not sure). So did they write puns in French and someone translated them and made sure the comic was still funny in English? Or did they write it in English?

I still hate that example. The adaptation example uses phrasing that is absolutely ambiguous in a way none of the others are but is presented as the most developed product.
