On the topic of Asterix's career: I went glancing through Asterix books. When each story begins and the adventure hasn't began yet, most of the time Asterix is portrayed either cleaning up his front yard or returning from a boar hunt. A couple of times, he's peeling potatoes.
Maybe he grows potatoes and barters them for clothes/weapons/etc when needed. He probably doesn't sell boars. The "Cauldron" story showed he doesn't know how much money to ask for them.

Yeah, I didn't like that part either. Also, it was strange to see Asterix being in denial about reality and getting himself in some totally avoidable trouble. He's normally a lot more astute than that.
