How did the authors write Asterix Puns? (lemmy.ml)

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?

That's the Chieftain's Shield which has always been my favourite Asterix book, since I was little. Love it ❤️
