This is an original French advertisement for the Mannesmann Tally MT 81M printer, which was specifically designed to be compatible with Minitel terminals.

The ad features the iconic French comic book characters Asterix and his dog Dogmatix (Idéfix).

The MT 81M printer is marketed for its performance, compactness, and reliability. It is presented as an essential companion for both Minitel and personal computers.

The headline uses a pun on the brand name: "PAR TOUTALLY! MINITEL-TALLYPRIX!" This play on words riffs on the common Asterix catchphrase "Par Toutatis!".

A coupon on the right, designed to look like a screen, invites readers to request more information or find the nearest point of sale by mail or via Minitel (code 3614 TALLY).
