The Smurfs (comic stories)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The text below contains much of the Smurfs comics drawn since 1958 . Most of the stories from the period 1958–1988 are cited according to the first publications in Spirou magazine , the more recent ones based on the albums. The album number corresponds to the original edition of the albums by Dupuis (from 1992: Lombard). The German-language edition of Toonfish (since 2011) is identical to this in terms of numbering and content, the Carlsen editions, however, showed some deviations. German names are taken from Kauka, Bastei or Carlsen or Toonfish. The year of a single story refers to the first French publication (usually in Spirou until 1988 ).

Les Schtroumpfs noirs, Le voleur de schtroumpfs, L'oeuf et les schtroumpfs, Le faux schtroumpf, La faim des Schtroumpfs and Le centième schtroumpf were published 1959–1962 as mini-récits (mini albums to make yourself; four stripes per page) and were with a view redrawn on the album editions from around 1963 while retaining the scenarios in album format with five stripes per side. The dialogues were hardly changed, occasionally additional drawings were added or removed. The album version is normally available, while the small-format original versions were reissued for the 50th and 60th birthday of the Smurfs.

In the comments, those aspects are presented in a concise form that repeatedly provide material for questions or discussions. Other interesting details are also mentioned. The sheet names refer to the sheet numbers on the comic strip (not the album page). In the case of particularly sensitive or interesting questions (the creation of La Schtroumpfette or the entry about the Smurfs in Gargamel's book) the original text is quoted; on such detailed questions none of the translations are reliable.

Draftsmen and copywriters: The information is given as it is in the albums. Only since album 16 (released in 1992, shortly before Peyo's death on December 24th) has a more precise specification of the staff (scriptwriter, draftsman, ink artist, colorist) been customary for longer stories. Since this album, Peyo's son Thierry Culliford (born 1955) as well as Luc Parthoens and Alain Maury (albums 16–21) have worked as co-authors and draftsmen. The same signature of Peyo is always printed in album 16, from album 17 it is additionally provided with a protruding © (and therefore no longer to be understood as the artist's direct signature on his drawing).

Since volume 16, the Les Schtroumpfs series has only been published as long as albums (mostly 44 or 46 sheets). One- pager are grouped together in the series Schtroumpferies (5 albums from 1994 to 2001), Einstreifer in the 120 Blagues de Schtroumpfs series (5 albums 2007 to July 2012, again in 2013 in two anthologies under the title 300 Gags schtroumpfs ). In these two rows, only Peyo or © Peyo is given as a copyright notice. All three series are currently being published in French by Lombard and reprinted if necessary. With regard to these albums, the bibliography below is complete. Further short stories (4 pages, 8 pages) from the period 1990–2002 were repeatedly published in different ways, currently with Lombard since 2011 under the title L'univers des Schtroumpfs .

The publisher Panini published in 2008 in the short-lived series Schlumpf Mag special and since 2009 in the simple Schlumpf Mag some material on short stories and Schtroumpferies.

Toonfish Verlag has published the Schlumpf albums in German since spring 2011 , with the publisher initially releasing the albums from "front and rear", i.e. the first in ascending order and the last in descending order. All volumes are now available in stores. The German version of L'univers des Schtroumpfs appears under the title Die Welt der Smurfs . One-sided and one-footers appear reformatted and in a different arrangement than Smurfette . The series Les schtroumpfs & et le village des filles was added in 2017 , in German at Toonfish as The Smurfs and the Lost Village , based on the CGI cartoon of the same name .

List of stories 1958–1988

1958 La flûte à six schtroumpfs (Peyo; 1960 Johan et Pirlouit 9 with Dupuis; The Smurfs and the Magic Flute ; 1969 in Fix and Foxi, 1976 album The Smurfs 2 with Gevacur, 1979 and 1994 with Carlsen, Johann and Pfiffikus 1; 2012 in Johann and Pfiffikus Complete Edition 3, Toonfish)

Synopsis: Pirlouit finds a six-hole flute lost by a traveling merchant and discovers that its flute tones make people dance; after a long dance you pass out. While mysterious little creatures try to get hold of the instrument, the evil Mathieu Torchesac (Kauka translation: Matthias Munkelsack, otherwise: Bruno Böse) succeeds in stealing the flute for unpleasant purposes. Johan and Pirlouit ask Homnibus for advice (from the Kauka translation, Homnibus: Nobody knows the secret of the Magic Flutes ... except for the Smurfs ... They make Magic Flutes! ) And let him use "hypnokinesis" to take them to the enchanted land of the Smurfs, that one Beings by whom they have been observed for some time. The Smurfs make a second Magic Flute for them, with which Pirlouit defeats Torchesac after a final flute duel. The Smurfs travel home with the two flutes.

  • The story Les Stroumpfeurs de flûte ( Eng . The Secret of the Magic Flute ), later written by Peyo's son, deals with the events that happened immediately before La flûte à six schtroumpfs . As part of this adventure in 2008 it is explained why the first Magic Flute was made. The Smurfs get their first impressions from Johan and Pirlouit. However, it is left to the reader's imagination to find an explanation for why the Smurfs in the comic from 1958 soon knew of the integrity of the flute and why Torchesac was apparently already informed about the magical powers of the instrument.
  • In addition to Les Stroumpfeurs de flûte , the great Magic Flute also appears in La guerre des sept fontaines (1959). A smaller, geometrically similar flute can be seen in The Smurfs and the Magic Dance (1998) and in Salade de Schtroumpfs (2006).
  • The original title was La flûte à six trous ("The flute with six holes"). Kauka published the story in 1969 in Fix and Foxi in sequels under the title The Smurfs and the Magic Flute ; the title was retained for the German dubbed version of the film and all other German album editions.
  • In La flûte à six schtroumpfs , La guerre des sept fontaines and the Mini-récits, the Smurfs are a little longer and less plump. They also have five fingers on each hand. Between the very differently designed smurf houses made of mushrooms there are also a few unprocessed mushrooms. The shape of the houses remains the same, but in later stories the Smurfs build them out of stone and wood.
  • Age of the Great Smurf, Age of the Smurfs: Peyo already answered this question clearly in this adventure: The Smurfs are getting very old. The Big Smurf has to be annoyed: “Always the same! Imagine everything is allowed with a hundred! "Pirlouit:" A hundred years old ?! "Johan:" Say, how old are you? "Big Smurf:" I've lived here for 542 years! (Eh! Mon Dieu, j'ai eu 542 ans aux chanterelles) ”. The 542nd anniversary of his birthday is celebrated in Le schtroumpf bricoleur (1982). In Le Schtroumpfeur de Bijoux (1995) the prankster smurf therefore names 543 as his age, in Les Schtroumpfs et le livre qui dit tout (2008) 542 is shown again as age (Thierry Culliford contributed to both scenarios). This may only seem inconsistent if one insists on the strong premise that the chronology of comic book releases also matches the chronology of related happenings in the world of the Smurfs. Otherwise, Smurfs around 100 are seen as cheeky youngsters. Smurfette (1966) is estimated by a Smurf to be 130 years old.
  • Le Grand Schtroumpf (Big Smurf): The Big Smurf speaks human language in the first dialogue with Johann and Pirlouit. It stays that way in the Kauka translation, but occasionally “Smurf Smurf” is added between the formulations.
  • In the first encounter with Johann the Great Smurf carries a scepter. In addition, in this story he quickly appears grumpy and easily excitable (for example when he chases the young Smurfs off the mushroom). Johann even has to settle a dispute between the Big Smurf and Pirlouit. In 1959, in Les Schtroumpfs noirs , this behavior seems a little less pronounced in the drawing when he sends the lazy Smurf to work at the beginning. In the later adventures he is shown much more calmly, for example he reacts much more calmly when he sees the destroyed Smurf village in Le Schtroumpfissime in 1964 . There are indications about the childhood of the Big Smurf: In Les Schtroumpfs noirs (1959) it is mentioned that, at the very young age of 108, he had already dealt with the contagious mosquito. In Schtroumpferies 5 (2001), his fifth birthday is mentioned.
  • The enchanted land of the Smurfs is considered to be inaccessible to humans, the Smurfs make their way there with storks.
  • Language of the Smurfs: After all, Pirlouit believes that he has seen through the language and a possible translation: “Le langage schtroumpf! C'est enfantin! Il suffit de remplacer les noms par 'schtroumpf' et les verbes par schtroumpfer! " (In Kauka, 1969, the phrase was translated as:" The Smurf language! It's child's play! You just replace all words with Smurf ".)

1959 La guerre des sept fontaines (Peyo; 1961 Johan et Pirlouit 10 in Dupuis; 1979 and 1994 in Carlsen The dispute over the seven sources as Johann and Pfiffikus 2; 2012 in Johann and Pfiffikus Complete Edition 4, Toonfish)

Content: Johann and Pirlouit want to help a deceased nobleman who, as a ghost, has to do mischief. At the sorceress Rachel they meet the Smurfs again, with whose help they let the springs gush again in the aristocratic land.

  • Title at Spirou: Les sept fontaines .
  • The Smurfs appear briefly in the human realm; their haunted land cannot be seen in this adventure.
  • The good wine that Pirlouit drinks out of curiosity is served to the king in Le pays maudit (1961).

1959 Les Schtroumpfs noirs (mini-récit; by Peyo, scenario: Delporte ; German The Black Smurfs, in: Die Smurfs compact edition 1, 2016 (facsimile), and 2018 under the same title as The Smurfs mini-album , both Toonfish)

Content: A smurf is bitten by the dangerous mosquito Bzz (la mouche Bzz) and becomes aggressive, evil and black. The characteristic behavior of the sick black Smurfs is to utter the sound Gnap ( Eng . “Gasch”, “Haps” or “Gnak”) and to transmit the disease to blue Smurfs by biting their tail. The Great Smurf, who faced the disease a long time ago, at the age of 108, is trying to find an antidote.

  • Only in the Mini-récit does the Smurf, which is sent by the Big Smurf in search of the missing comrade, meet him directly and get a slap in the face. Spectacle Smurf and Prankster Smurf are not featured in the 1959 comic. In this first actual Smurf story, the Smurfs are introduced as inhabitants of the enchanted land with reference to Johan and Pirlouit and with a view to their skin color blue and their own language (Peut-être connaissez-vous déjà les "Schtroumpfs", ces petits habitants du pays maudit, que Johan et Pirlouit ont rencontrés au cours d'une de leurs aventures “La flûte à six schtroumpfs”. / Outre leur petite taille et leur couleur bleue, ils ont un langue bien particulier. Ils parlent “Schtroumpfs”) .
  • Occasionally the Black Smurfs are remembered in later adventures: In Le Schtroumpfissime (1964, sheet 37), one Smurf attacks another with the classic Gnap strategy. In Einseiter 85 from 1976, a normal blue smurf paints itself black and plays a black smurf.
  • The antidote is called in the original version Fleur de tubéreuse . In the last drawing, the Smurf Village consists of 14 houses (21 in the album version) and the ruins of the Great Smurf laboratory in the center.
  • In this story Smurf heads can be seen without a cap: The cap is removed from a captured black Smurf in order to treat his head with an ointment (sheet 20, sheet 10 in the album version). In addition, towards the end of the story, the Big Smurf turned black without being seen without a cap (sheet 39, sheet 19 in the album version). Most likely, the Smurfs are bald. In all later stories taking off the hat is a taboo. Occasionally floating hats can later be seen, the associated Smurfs head of a mostly falling Smurf has to be thought of outside the picture (see also Le Schtroumpfeur de Bijoux , 1995 and The bearded Smurfette , 1997).
  • Schtroumpf bêta ( dumb Smurf ). The Smurf who confuses everything can already be seen in this story. He later got his name Schtroumpf Bêta . He is also the only one to appear in a Johan adventure before 1992 (in Le pays maudit he confuses something). His appearance in Le jardin des Schtroumpfs (1982) is noteworthy . He shows a particular naivety in Schtroumpferies 1 (sheet 23, 1994): The Great Smurf sends him around chestnuts into the forest. Since he mistakenly came back to the Smurfs village while strolling, he believes he has found another Smurfs village. In Schtroumpferies 5 (sheet 183, 2001), however, he manages to find his way back to the Smurf Village after traveling halfway around the world.
  • Schtroumpf Grognon ( Grouchy Smurf ): The Schlumpf, who is bitten by a mosquito, initially bears traits of schtroumpf Grognon and slightly more of schtroumpf Paresseux. In L'oeuf et les Schtroumpfs (1960) this smurf clearly and extensively shows the typical behavior of the Grognon, which the other Smurfs attribute to the mosquito bite. He was not given the name Schtroumpf Grognon until 1962 in Le centième Schtroumpf , occasionally he was called Grognon . In The Black Smurfs (1969), the Kauka translators gave him the German name for Schtroumpf Paresseux, "Gammelschlumpf". The focus is on Grognon in Le bébé Schtroumpf in 1984 , and an unusually special bond develops between him and the baby.
  • In the accompanying television episode The purple smurf (1981), the Smurfs are not black, but purple.

1959 Le voleur de Schtroumpfs (Mini-récit; Peyo and Delporte; Ger. The captive Smurf, 2018 as The Smurfs mini-album , Toonfish)

Content: Warlock Gargamel wants to turn worthless metals into gold and needs a smurf for the recipe. Since Gargamel does not yet know the Smurfs, he looks in one of his books. So he learns about the Enchanted Land and where the Smurfs can still be found, their language and their favorite food Salsepareille ( Sarsaparilla ; Siebenwurz bei Kauka): Schtrou… Schtroumpf… Ah! Voilà! Sort de petit génie habitant le pays maudit, mais que l'on rencontre parfois dans nos régions. Les schtroumpfs ont un langage spécial: Ils parlent schtroumpf. Ils sont, dit-on, très friands d'une plante appelée: Salsepareille . After Gargamel sets traps, one of two Smurfs, who are looking for nuts, taps inside. The other Smurf alerts everyone else to free the prisoner.

  • The mini-récits by Les Schtroumpfs noirs and Le voleur de Schtroumpfs were re-released in 2004 in a special edition by Niffle.
  • The "other Smurf" already shows a typical clever behavior, but can be seen in the mini-récit without glasses and only becomes the glasses Smurf in the album version from 1963. Otherwise, only the Big Smurf and the Dumb Smurf stand out from anonymity due to their behavior.
  • In this mini-récit, the Smurfs are alternately drawn with four or five fingers.
  • In the mini-récit, an inner monologue by the prisoner and the Great Smurf's call to return ( “Je ne reverrai plus jamais le schtroumpf maudit” and “Ouf! En route pour le schtroumpf maudit” ) document that Gargamel's dwelling is outside the enchanted land is located. The first remark about the topology was changed for the album ( “Je ne reverrai plus jamais mon village schtroumpf.” , Kauka translation from 1969: “I will never see Smurf village again.”), The other one deleted. Apparently the scenarioists were interested in a representation that Gargamel suggests as a resident of the Haunted Land. This idea goes better with the content from Le pays maudit .
  • Gargamel and Azraël: The names Gargamel, Azraël and also Monulf (1961, Le pays maudit ) were created by Yvan Delporte. Gargamel has the giant Gargamelle, a figure of François Rabelais , as namesake (see Gargantua and Pantagruel and particle detector Gargamelle ). In the story, the Smurfs meet Gargamel and his cat Azraël for the first time. First, Gargamel needs a Smurf to make gold. The motive for revenge only emerges at the end, its revenge manifests itself in very different ways in later comic adventures. The inner monologue in The Curious Smurf and the Answer Fairy (1994) documents that he can no longer remember the original motifs. Easter in Smurfette (1998) shows that his values ​​have changed; Smurfs are now more important to him than gold.
  • In unspecific receptions it is often documented that Gargamel would like to make gold out of the Smurfs or would like to eat them. In fact, the gold recipe, for which only one smurf is needed, no longer plays a role after this story. In the album The Smurfs and the Missing Storks , the Great Smurf even describes this recipe with amusement as charlatanism, and Homnibus is amazed at people who believe in such nonsense. Gargamel also very rarely thinks about eating Smurfs (for example, in Un Schtroumpf pas comme les autres , 1969, he expresses such intentions). On the contrary, Gargamel repeatedly prevents his cat Azraël from quickly devouring the Smurfs. Essentially, he just wants revenge on the Smurfs for foiling his plans when they first met. He usually takes them prisoner and rarely has any further specific plans. In Pièges à Schtroumpfs (1968) he captures almost everyone, adjusts himself to a longer posture and enslaves them.
  • The cat Azraël is basically missing part of his right ear. However, in Le voleur de Schtroumpfs, both in the mini-récit and in the album, the ears are fully depicted in some drawings. Azraël communicates with Maunzen, occasionally one also participates in his ideas in the form of visualizations. A short inner monologue can only be read in Les farces du Schtroumpf farceur , around 1990.
  • Gargamel mistakenly drinks a magic potion, which reduces it to about the size of a Smurf. The Smurfs have to steal the same magic potion in Les Schtroumpfs et le Cracoucass (1969). In a one-pager in Schtroumpferies 2 (1996), the Great Smurf was also able to develop such a mixture.

1960 L'Œuf et les Schtroumpfs (Mini-récit; Peyo and Delporte; The Magic and the Smurfs, 2018 as The Smurfs mini-album , Toonfish. Redrawn after the 1960 mini-récit for Spirou and the album release in 1966; 1968 in Album 4 at Dupuis; 1970 in an FF summer special and 1972 in FF album 7 The Smurfs and the Cuckoo's Egg ; 1979 and 1997 with Carlsen The Magic and the Smurfs , in: The Smurfs 4, also 2011 with Toonfish.)

Synopsis: The Smurfs find magic and discover that it fulfills wishes.

  • FF album 7 has the collective title Smurfony .
  • Two Smurfs found a chicken coop, so there are - apart from Gargamel - further indications of previous or current non- Smurf settlements in the enchanted land (In Les Schtroumpfs et le Cracoucass , 1968, the Smurfs find shelter in an abandoned watchtower).
  • A smurf mistakenly turns into a sausage; he thinks of this situation during the starvation period in La faim des Schtroumpfs (1961). In Schtroumpferies 3 (1997, sheet 114) he is transformed back into a sausage by a spell. Motifs from this story can be found in 1999 in The Smurfs and the Magic Bird .

1961 Le faux Schtroumpf (Mini-récit; Peyo and Delporte; The False Smurf, 2018 as The Smurfs mini-album , Toonfish. Redrawn after the mini-récit of 1961 for Spirou and the album release in 1967; 1968 in album 4 with Dupuis; 1970 in Fix and Foxi ; 1979 and 1997 Carlsen in: The Smurfs 4, also 2011 in Toonfish.)

Content: Gargamel wants to take revenge on the Smurfs, mixes himself a potion and turns into a Smurf. The transformation goes a little wrong in detail. He has no tail, he is unable to enjoy the favorite sarsaparilla, and he does not speak the Smurf language. Nevertheless, he gets to the Smurf Village and is accepted as a Smurf.

  • Gargamel is not recognized by the Smurfs after the transformation, apparently there are anonymous Smurfs.
  • Towards the end of the story, Gargamel messes up the magic potion, so that after being transformed back from Smurf into humans, he maintains the size of the Smurfs and also their proportions (larger head within the figure).
  • The Big Smurf can only be seen doing a handicraft with a hammer on the anvil.
  • The scenario of the television episode "The fake smurf" (1981) largely corresponds to the comic, but Hogatha turns into the fake Smurf.

1961 La faim des Schtroumpfs (Mini-récit; Peyo and Delporte; Die Smurfs in Not, 2018 as The Smurfs mini-album , Toonfish. Redrawn after the mini-récit of 1961 for the album publication 1966/67; 1967 in Dupuis album 3; 1970 in Fix and Foxi , also 1974 as The Great Hunger ; 1979 and 1996 Carlsen in: The Smurfs 3, also 2011 with Toonfish.)

Content: In winter, the Smurfs' storeroom is damaged and the supplies are unusable. You go on a long journey to get new food supplies.

  • In this story, the Smurfs meet an almost abandoned castle - albeit far from the Smurf Village.
  • The large storage facility: A non-profit building that is often drawn in the Schlumpfdorf is the large storage facility shown for the first time in this comic, with a skylight and winch. The Smurfs keep their food in it, in this story and in Les Schtroumpfs et le Cracoucass (1968) it is damaged. Assuming that there is only one such building, it will continue to serve as a workshop for the Flying Smurf (1963, Le Schtroumpf Volant ) and more often for the Craft Smurf (1972, Schtroumpf vert et vert Schtroumpf ) and converted into a hospital (1996, Docteur Schtroumpf ), as a courtroom (1966, La Schtroumpfette ) and again and again as a meeting place (2006, Salade des Schtroumpfs ).

1961 Le pays maudit (Peyo; 1964 Johan et Pirlouit 12 in Dupuis; 1969/70 in Fix and Foxi Das verunschene Land ; in Carlsen In the cursed land as Johann and Pfiffikus 3 (1980) and 4 (1995); 2012 Das verunschene Land in Johann and Pfiffikus Complete Edition 4, Toonfish)

Content: A smurf gets to Johann and Pirlouit in the royal castle via a juggler's troupe. Evidently terrible things have happened in the Smurf Village: Homnibus is too ill to be transferred there. Johann, Pirlouit, the Smurf and the King set off on the arduous journey into the enchanted land.

  • In this story u. a. shown how difficult it is for humans to reach the enchanted land of the Smurfs on foot. Johann and his companions have to overcome dense forests, dangerous swamps, a hot desert and mountain glaciers on foot. During Peyo's lifetime (because of this) there were very few contacts between the Smurfs and humans.
  • In the plot of this story, Peyo also took advantage of the fact that the language of the Smurfs is not so easily understood by humans. This is how a smurf reports Le grand schtroumpf a été schtroumpfé par un vilain schtroumpf qui a un schtroumpf qui schtroumpfe du schtroumpf! What about the schtroumpf qui schtroumpfe du schtroumpf (in Kauka: The Smurf with the Smurf Smurf ) becomes a riddle for a long time.
  • Monulf and Drache Fafnir become Fafnir and Drache Fauchi at Kauka.
  • Among the jugglers' troupe, Martin the bear, who only thinks about escaping, and his keeper in Baby Smurfs Biggest Wish (1991) have another appearance.
  • Fafnir returns decades later in The Smurfs and the Dragon from the Lake (2018; Volume 36). And the jugglers' troupe can also be seen briefly.

1962 Le centième Schtroumpf (Mini-récit; Peyo and Delporte; The hundredth Smurf, 2018 as The Smurfs mini-album , Toonfish. After the mini-récit of 1962, redrawn for the album release in 1968: in Dupuis album 4; 1973 in Fix and Foxi , 1979 and 1996 with Carlsen in: The Smurfs 4, also 2011 with Toonfish.)

Content: The Big Smurf states that exactly 100 Smurfs are necessary for a moon festival, which is supposed to take place every 654 years. He only finds 99, including himself; Finally, the vain Schtroumpf Coquet (fashion smurf) comes to a living likeness through a lightning strike in his new mirror, which, however, always acts and speaks in mirror image.

  • Remarks: The Fashion Smurf makes its first appearance here. In the later stories he usually has a small hand mirror with him or a flower on his hat.
  • Number of Smurfs: The adventure makes it clear that there should be 100 Smurfs. Two years later (1964) in the story of Smurfissimus, in the absence of the Great Smurf, exactly 99 Smurfs were chosen. In the story Le cosmoschtroumpf drawn in 1969 , the astronaut Smurf also explains to the sublime Schlimps that they are exactly 100 Smurfs (the Smurfette, which was already known at the time, is not taken into account, she also left the village at the time). When dancing, the 99 white-clad Smurfs all look the same (there will be different clothes later).
  • There are 100 Smurfs, but the number of houses in the Smurfs village can be estimated at around two dozen. In fact, in some drawings, The Smurfs and the Magic Flute (1958) , it looks like several Smurfs are living in one house. In 1988, too, it looks like the three mini-smurfs live in the same house with the caterpillar. However, the story of Smurfette drawn in 1966 suggests that only one Smurf lives in each house.
  • Schtroumpf farceur (joker smurf ) can be seen for the first time with the bang gifts (exploschtroumpfs) characteristic of him , with which he tricked Smurfs and people. He is in the foreground in Les farces du Schtroumpf farceur (1990) and 1995 in Le Schtroumpfeur de Bijoux . One possible explanation for how you can fall for your presents again and again is formulated by Muscle Smurf 2000 in La Menace Schtroumpf .
  • Schtroumpf à lunettes (Spectacles Smurf ). He showed his typical know-it-all in 1959 in Le voleur de Schtroumpfs , but the glasses were missing. Also in Le centième Schtroumpf in the 1962 version he still appears as Le moralisateur (“the moral preacher ”) without glasses, in the 1968 album version he can be seen with glasses and his typically clever behavior. Schtroumpf à lunettes was first mentioned in Le Schtroumpfissime in 1964 , and this name then caught on. Political interpretations of the Smurfette refer to his intellect, which does not necessarily follow from a know-it-all and is seldom seen in comic stories. In addition, he is shown in detail once anxious ( Le Schtroumpf sauvage , 1998) and regressive ( Le Schtroumpf reporter , 2003; he is the only one who has a teddy bear with him at night ). Otherwise his characteristic behavior is limited to know-it-all and "The Big Smurf always says ...". The anger of the other Smurfs about his behavior is followed in the older albums by ignorance or threat of violence with a hammer, in the more recent comics the threats are also implemented more often (similar to the bard Troubadix in Asterix ). Basically he is responsible for the school and teaching system in the Schlumpfdorf. Like the Big Smurf, he owns books (1968, Pâques schtroumpfantes ), he tries to teach the Wild Smurf the language (1998, Le Schtroumpf Sauvage ), and once the Smurfs even listen to him (2001, Schtroumpferies 5 ). Deviating from this, in Schnitzeljagd mit Gurgelhals (1998) it seems as if Smurfette runs the school and holds the lessons.
  • Schtroumpf bricoleur (craft smurf) is mentioned for the first time in this story. His handicraft workshop can also be seen in 1963 (Le schtroumpf volant) . From 1982 he wore dungarees, which in some stories are still white, from 1992 they are always dark blue. Since then, a red pencil, usually tucked behind the ear, has also been part of his appearance. With his manual skills as well as his tools and his inventions, which go far beyond the level of the Middle Ages of the human world, he repeatedly makes useful contributions, for example a shooting device ( Les Schtroumpfs et le Cracoucass , 1968), a weather machine ( Le schtroumpfeur de pluie , 1969), a drill without electricity ( Le schtroumpf bricoleur , 1982), a Smurf-like robot ( Le schtroumpf robot , 1988), a train ( Le petit train des schtroumpfs , 1991), wind-up automobiles and wooden robots (2002).
  • Schtroumpf Paresseux (rotten smurf) can be seen for the first time. He likes to lie in the grass smiling, sometimes asleep. From 2002 (album 21) he has a pillow with him.
  • Schtroumpf gourmand can usually be seen while consuming sweets or sarsaparilla. In the older stories he cooks his own food ( La Schtroumpfette , 1966). After the chef's first appearances (1976) and the baker as independent Smurfs, it is they who prepare the dishes. This changes the characterization of the Tasty Smurf: it is he who receives the food from the others.

1963 Les Schtroumpfs noirs (Peyo and Delporte; album version of the Mini-récit from 1959; 1963 album 1 at Dupuis; 1969 in Fix and Foxi and 1971 in FF album 1 The Black Smurfs ; 1979 and 1996 with Carlsen Blue Smurfs and Black Smurfs in: Die Smurfs 1, also 2011 at Toonfish)

  • The mosquito turns into an evil bizz fly at Kauka.
  • The FF album ("Fix and Foxi" album) 1 has the collective title The Smurfs .
  • In the album version it is the Smurfs with glasses (or glasses have been added), which is sent on the search for the lost Smurf. The appearance of the prankster Smurf towards the end of the comic was also designed for the new version.

1963 Le voleur de Schtroumpfs (Peyo and Delporte; album version of the Mini-récit from 1959; 1963 in Dupuis album 1; 1969 in Fix and Foxi Der Gefangene Schlumpf , 1970 in FF super 35 Goldmacher Gurgelhals , 1971 in FF album 1 Der caught Smurf ; 1979 and 1996 by Carlsen Der Schlumpfdieb in: The Smurfs 1, also in 2011 by Toonfish, there again under the title The Captive Smurf )

  • FF-super 35 (Fix and Foxi super 35) has the collective title The Great Smurfs Show , and in this issue Kauka has roughly drawn the Smurf card from Les Schtroumpfs noirs and added Gargamel's dwelling.
  • While the Big Smurf calls all Smurfs, only in the album version does the Spectacles Smurf, who is best able to assess the danger of the situation, shed a few tears for the captured Smurf. He did the same in 1995 in Le Schtroumpfeur de Bijoux after he reported the capture of the Prankster Smurf. In that sense, the two stories are similar.

1963 Le Schtroumpf volant (Peyo, Delporte; 1963 in Dupuis album 1; The flying Smurf , 1969 in Fix and Foxi and 1970 in FF-super 35; 1978 and 1996 Carlsen in: The Smurfs 1, also 2011 with Toonfish)

Content: A Smurf really wants to fly.

  • This is the first (short) story with the Smurfs, which does not initially appear in mini format as before, but is published in normal album size.
  • In the usual album edition, this story between the two of them is printed from 1959. In the normal version of the text, it seems as if Le voleur de Schtroumpfs from 1959 follows on from this story from 1963 (in the more recent story the Smurfs and one more are commissioned by the Great Smurf to look for nuts. In the older adventure, the two are still looking for nuts ? - after nuts). Even if one does not know the dates, one might wonder why Azrael is already mentioned in the earlier and more recent story Le Schtroumpf volant , after it is clear that the Smurfs met their opponents Gargamel and Azrael for the first time in the older scenario, Le voleur de Schtroumpfs on Encounter end of album. Since some of the stories had already been published as “Mini-Récit” and were partially redrawn for the album version, this could have caused mutual influence, possibly due to a non-chronological processing of the scenarios. In the Toonfish edition from 2011 the correct chronology was kept.
  • The Flying Smurf is the first to try to assert a special idea. In contrast to many others with a one-off appearance (cf.Parthoens Interview, 2003), he can occasionally be seen again - although not as often as the well-known, recurring Smurfs ( La Schtroumpfette 1966, L'aéroschtroumpf 1990, Schtroumpferies 5 2001) . In addition, it is one of the few that has received two names within the original versions ( Schtroumpf volant , Aéroschtroumpf ).
  • houba houba jumping with feathers is supposed to remind of Franqin's Marsupilami .
  • Pets: In this story, a Smurf keeps a chicken as a permanent pet. In later adventures, animals are usually only taken in for a short time, for example during the cold season. Only with the dog Puppy (1990, Puppy et les Schtroumpfs ), which is not assigned to a specific Smurf, do the Smurfs get another permanent roommate.

1963 Schtroumpfonie en ut (Peyo, Delporte; 1965 in album 2 by Dupuis; 1969 in Fix and Foxi and 1972 in FF album 7 Schlumpfonie in C major ; 1978 and 1996 Carlsen Schlümpfonie in C in: The Smurfs 2, also in 2011 in Toonfish, there under the title Smurfette in C )

Content: Gargamel disguises himself as a fairy Aurora ( la bonne fée Aurore , see also A kiss for Smurfette , 1991) and gives a musically untalented Smurf a dangerous magic trumpet (a turlusiphon ), the sound of which paralyzes others and puts them in a state similar to death. During the chase, Gargamel ends up hanging over a ditch with both hands on a tree trunk. The said Smurf would now have the option of giving the magician the rest, but foregoing it (Et puis non! Le Grand Schtroumpf dit toujours qu'on ne doit pas schtroumpfer un ennemi déschtroumpfé) .

  • The Schlumpf will play his unpleasant trumpet music again in 1964 in Le Schtroumpfissime (sheet 7).

1964 Le Schtroumpfissime (Peyo, Delporte; 1965 album 2 by Dupuis; 1969 in Fix and Foxi Der Oberschlumpf , 1971 in FF album 3 Der Großer Smurf ; 1978 and 1996 Carlsen , Die Smurfs Volume 2, as Smurfissimus, King of the Smurfs. Likewise 2011 at Toonfish.)

Content: The Big Smurf needs ingredients for an experiment and is traveling. In his absence, a Smurf makes many election promises, is elected leader, and becomes a despot. Some Smurfs revolt; the resulting battle in the Smurf Village is ended by the returned Big Smurf.

  • In view of much discussion about what form of government or political structure the Smurfs make up, this story suggests that it is not a dictatorship. The only exception is - for a short time - the plot of this adventure.
  • Schtroumpf Costaud (Muscle Smurf ) appears for the first time and impresses with his physical strength. He has key roles in La Menace Schtroumpf in 2000 and in Salade de Schtroumpfs in 2006 . Since 1995 (album 17) a red heart can be recognized on his right biceps.
  • In the accompanying television episode King smurf (1981) the complex contents such as election promises and election do not appear. While the Smurfette is held captive in the comic, he acts as an unelected leader on TV. After the Big Smurf meets the Smurfs in the film, he says after the battle: "You behaved like only humans otherwise do."

1966 La Schtroumpfette (Peyo; 1967 album 3 with Dupuis; 1969/70 in Fix and Foxi and 1972 in FF album 5 Smurfette , 1979 and 1996 with Carlsen in The Smurfs 3 as Smurfette. So also with Toonfish 2011.)

Content: Gargamel wants bitter revenge on the Smurfs and therefore sends them a cheeky, feminine, black-haired Smurfette created by him. The Great Smurf embellishes you into a blond, attractive creature.

  • In contrast to the Carlsen translation, the Kauka translation and the English version retain the diminutive form contained in the original (-ette becomes -chen), with Kauka and later with Bastei la Schtroumpfette is given the name "Smurfette".
  • In her first story, Gargamel first turns her from brown clay into a lifeless figure, painted and clothed in blue (Gargamel can sew). With the recipe Comment faire une statuette en la dotant d'une nature féminine , Gargamel then creates the lively, black-haired creature.
  • Apparently Gargamel succeeded in improving this formula over the years: In Les P'tits Schtroumpfs (1988), the mini-smurfs steal a sheet from his magic book, Formulas Schtroumpfettus (with a picture of the black-haired Smurfette created by Gargamel), the main component is now blue Earth from a grotto (terre glaise bleue, dans la grotte de la source) . The sassette created in this way is not clothed until after creation.
  • In Drama about a Water Mermaid (1996) Gargamel tries again to create a Smurfette .
  • After the trial, the Smurfette's character has changed: In order to avoid discord among the Smurfs caused by her presence, she sacrifices herself and leaves the Smurfs' village. In subsequent adventures she is occasionally mentioned in dialogue, and from 1971 she can occasionally be seen in one-sided. In view of the dramaturgical need to tone down the male bias in the television series, Smurfette returned to the village in a long story from 1980, Le schtroumpf olympique , and from then on was a useful member of the Smurf population. For example, she takes care of the sick Big Smurf in Le Schtroumpf Financier (1992); in La Menace Schtroumpf (2000) she rebukes the gloomy Smurfs for being too brutal with the prankster Smurf.
  • The Big Smurf, who is otherwise the leader in the Smurf Village, also acts as the judge of a jury trial.
  • When the Big Smurf wanted to solve the living problem for Smurfette - there is already exactly one Smurf in every house - the authors parodied the mind game about Hilbert's hotel .
  • La schtroumpfette is the last story with five comic strips per page.
  • In the FF album 5 there is still an advertising page Smurf Figures, some of them are referred to as "-schloumpf" (in the FRG the Smurfs and their German name were only known for about two years).

1968 Pâques schtroumpfantes (Peyo, Gos; 2.5 pages; Schlumpferei im Schlumpfdorf in FF 36/1976 and in FF yearbook 1977; Schlumpfige Easter , in: Die Schlüfen compact edition 2, Toonfish 2017 [in two versions])

Content: The Spectacle Smurf, another Smurf and the Joker Smurf each want to give the Big Smurf an egg independently of each other.

  • A new version of this story in 4 pages was produced in 1981. It was first printed in Spirou 2245. In 1983 it was included in Album 11.
  • The unnamed Smurf in the original version becomes the Schtroumpf Pâtissier (literally: confectioner smurf) in the new version . Like the Schtroumpf Cuisinier (Chef Smurf) from La soupe aux Schtroumpfs , 1976, he wears a chef's hat. Presumably it's the same Smurf. In the one-page 191-II, for example, the Smurf wearing a chef's hat is addressed as a Schtroumpf Cuisinier , even though he is baking a cake.

1968 Pièges à Schtroumpfs (Peyo, Gos; 1971 in Album 7; 1973 in Fix and Foxi as well as 1974 in FF-Fun 21 A trap for the Smurfs ; 1980 and 1997 Carlsen The Smurfs traps in The Smurfs 7; also with Toonfish 2011 [ Smurf Traps ])

Synopsis: Gargamel sets up various traps and catches almost all of the Smurfs.

  • From now on, the Schlumpf stories, like most other Franco-Belgian comics, were drawn with four stripes on each side.

1968 Les Schtroumpfs et le Cracoucass (Peyo, Gos; 1969 album 5 at Dupuis; 1971 in Fix and Foxi The Smurfs and the Kraakukass ; 1980 and 1997 Carlsen The Smurfs and the Krakakas in: The Smurfs 5; so also with Toonfish 2011 under the Title The Smurfs and the Monster Bird )

Content: The Big Smurf creates a mixture that is far too dangerous. Two Smurfs are supposed to bury this mixture in the desert. A small bird comes to a few drops of this mixture and becomes a dangerous, large Kraakukass. The Smurfs flee from the giant bird and hide in an old watchtower.

  • While Gargamel is quite peaceful and inconspicuous in this story, it is now the Great Smurf who steals a magic potion from him with a morally imprecise justification (in the corresponding TV episode he can do without Gargamel's potion).
  • The old watchtower can be seen again in The Little Phantom (1996), The Secret of Red Honey (1998) and Dangerous Holidays (2000). Occasionally it is also inhabited.
  • While it can be seen since 1960/1961 that the Smurfs only have four fingers on one hand, this story shows for the first time that they only have four toes on one foot.
  • The small, harmless Cracoucass can be seen again briefly in L'aéroschtroumpf (1990) and in The Flying Smurf (1991).

1969 Un Schtroumpf pas comme les autres (Peyo; 1969 in Dupuis album 5; 1971 in Fix and Foxi A smurf no longer plays , 1980 and 1997 Carlsen No Smurf like the others in: The Smurfs 6; Toonfish under the same title in Volume 5)

Content: A Smurf is introverted and sad and wants to get to know the big wide world. During his journey, he is captured by Gargamel, who reaches the Smurf Village with a magic pipe.

  • This Smurf is described by Peyo as melancholy and sad (see Schtroumpferies 5 , 2001). Kauka associated him with the well-known grumpy Schtroumpf Grognon ( Grumpy Smurf ). In a one-pager from Schtroumpferies 4 (1999) it is actually S. Grognon who wants to leave the village.

1969 Le cosmoschtroumpf (Peyo; 1970 album 6 with Dupuis; 1971/72 in Fox and Foxi and 1972 in FF album 10 Der Weltraumschlumpf ; 1980 and 1997 Carlsen Der Astronautenschlumpf in: Die Smurfs 6, 1995 with Bastei Album 8, with Toonfish 2011 again in Volume 6)

Content: A Smurf wants to reach other stars. Since his rocket does not work, the Smurfs travel with the sleeping Cosmoschtroumpf (Space Smurf , further appearances in one-sided) into the interior of a distant extinct volcano. With the help of a magic potion from the Great Smurf, they transform themselves into red ties (Carlsen / Toonfish: Schlimpse) with thick black hair (see also 2003, Le Schtroumpf Reporter ) and try to convince their fellow Smurfs that he is on a distant planet .

  • In a one-pager in Schtroumpferies 1 (1994), the space Smurf again intends to travel with his rocket. From the page it is not clear whether the rocket works after all or whether the other Smurfs are ready for an elaborate spectacle again.
  • In The Mini-Smurfs on the Moon (1996), as part of Sassette's dream, some Smurfs visit the inhabited moon. In contrast, in The Smurf from Another Star (1996) the Smurfs encounter an alien who has landed on earth, while the Craft Smurf manages the repair of his spaceship.
  • Projections of the Smurfs onto other populations: Occasionally the Smurfs and their peculiarities, which already represent a parody of the male world (Parthoens Interview, 2003), are also projected onto another population. The ties are still transformed Smurfs. In later stories, Smurf-like populations are actually shown. The characteristic features of individual Smurfs are more or less reflected. Most of the time, a certain Smurf corresponds to a corresponding being in the other people. In Der Seefahrerschlumpf (1996), the title hero meets the Flümpfen (German) and an analogue to Gargamel. In The Smurfs and the Snake Mail ( 1997) relatives, the Schtrüfte ( Ger .), Appear . In La menace Schtroumpf (2000) there are suddenly mysterious, dark Schtroumpf gris .

1969 Le schtroumpfeur de pluie (Peyo, Gos, Delporte; 1970 in Dupuis album 6; 1972 in Fix and Foxi Alle Wetter ; 1980 and 1997 with Carlsen The Smurfs and the Weather Machine in: The Smurfs 7; with Toonfish 2011 in Volume 6)

Content: The handicraft smurf constructs a weather machine that can be used properly when used properly. While most Smurfs picnic, the Gardener Smurf needs some rain for their plants, while the Poet Smurf calls for sun for inspiration. Ultimately, the two ruin the weather machine and there are different weather extremes in rapid succession.

  • In the older German Carlsen edition, the story was moved to album 7.
  • Schtroumpf Paysan (Gardener's Smurf ): When he first appears, he gives the impression of being a Smurf who is involved in gardening. In 1992, from Le Schtroumpf Financier , the gardener smurf appears in a costume that will be typical for him in the future, green dungarees with a straw hat and wooden slippers. In addition, his role in the dramaturgy of the Schlumpfwelt was upgraded from 1992 onwards. Similar to the cook and the baker, it is easy to see for the reader that his agriculture makes a significant contribution to the preservation of the Smurf population.

1969 Le sortilège de Maltrochu (Peyo; Johan et Pirlouit 13, 1970 with Dupuis; 1972 in Fix and Foxi Extra 20 Der Zaubertrank , with Carlsen as Der Zauber von Schwarzenfels as Johann und Pfiffikus 4 (1981) and 5 (1995); 2012 under the title Der Hexenbann von Habichtstein in the Johann and Pfiffikus Complete Edition 4, Toonfish)

Content: Johann and Pirlouit help the Chevalier Thierry, who has been transformed into a dog, back to his original form and to his bride.

  • The first page of this story - with typical Peyo sketches - is designed like the page of a medieval book. A drawing contains the mistakes in perspective typical of that time. Essentially, it is a love story with the motif of the animal bridegroom, which is very well known from fairy tale dramaturgy. Peyo named this blond and good-looking knight after his son Thierry. Kauka published the story slightly abridged and in paperback format.

1970 L'apprenti Schtroumpf (Peyo; 1971 album 7 on Dupuis; Der Zauberschlumpf ; 1972/73 in Fix and Foxi and 1974 in FF-spass 21; 1980 and 1997 Carlsen in Die Schlüifte 7; also in 2011 with Toonfish)

Synopsis: A Smurf steals the sheet of a magic book from Gargamel and turns into a scaly Smurf with a long, thick tail.

  • In addition to L'apprenti Schtroumpf, album 7 also contains Pièges à Schtroumpfs (1968) and Roméos et Schtroumpfette (1971).
  • The name Apprenti schtroumpf (lit. and also with Bastei: apprentice smurf ) is based on Goethe's ballad about the sorcerer's apprentice (cf. the Disney adaptation in Fantasia with Mickey Mouse as a sorcerer's apprentice).
  • Towards the end of the story, the Magic Smurf promises to stop engaging in sorcery or alchemy. In some of the short stories from 1991 onwards ( A shadow goes crazy , 1993; The Smurfs and the magic potion , 1997; The Smurfs and the giant carrots , 2000) he does magic again and is also allowed to use the Great Smurf's laboratory.

1971/1972 and 1976 one- pager . 1971/1972 Peyo drew about 78, in 1976 seven more one-sided gags. The numbering was assigned from 1 to 86, omitting the number 84. Almost all gags were printed by Kauka and Carlsen. Ten of these one-sided gags (10–13, 24, 30–31, 48–49, 56; Peyo, Delporte), which have Smurfette as their theme, are published in Dupuis album 7 under the collective title Roméos et Schtroumpfette (no Carlsen publication ). The 52 comic-page album 8 Histoires de Schtroumpfs published by Dupuis in 1972 consists exclusively of one-sided gags (1–9, 14–17, 19, 23, 26, 28, 32–43, 45–47, 50, 54– 55, 59–62, 64–71, 73, 75–78) and was published by Carlsen as The Smurfs , Volume 9, with the title Smurfy Tales . 13 more, which have sport as a topic, are in the Dupuis album 9 under the collective title Jeux Olympschtroumpf (18, 20-22, 25, 27, 29, 51-52, 58, 63, 72, 74; Peyo, Delporte) - in German Schlumpf and games in Carlsen volume 8. Gag 44, 57 and the seven gags from 1976 (79-83, 85-86) as well as a four-page story from Spirou 1992 (1976), Deux schtroumpfs vivaient en paix (at Kauka under the title Who marries Smurfette ? in FF 17/1977), are published in album 10. The content of the Toonfish edition follows the Dupuis original. All one-pagers can also be found in Volume 3 of the Smurfs compact edition .


1972 Schtroumpf vert et vert Schtroumpf ( Peyo et Y. Delporte ou Y.Delporte et Peyo, tout ça c'est ... - it says so in the album! -; 1972 album 9 at Dupuis; 1974 in Fix and Foxi Cork Smurf or Smurfette , 1980 Carlsen in The Smurfs 8: Red Smurfs and Smurfette ; under the same title in Toonfish Volume 9, 2011)

Content: Starting with whether a corkscrew is now called "Cork Smurf" or "Smurfette", the Smurfs argue about the grammar of their language. In the course of the action, some of them play Le petit schtroumpferon rouge (or Le petit chaperon schtroumpf = Little Red Riding Hood ) on a theater stage . In the further course the argument takes place

civil war-like features.

  • Little Red Riding Hood is also edited in Red Smurfs and the Bad Wolf (1995). The stage performance can be seen again in a one-pager in Schtroumpferies 3 (1997).
  • Much of the story is told in a flashback.
  • In addition to this cover story, the album also contains the one-page collection Jeux Olympschtroumpf ( Smurf and Games ; 1971/72).

1976 La soupe aux Schtroumpfs (Idea and scenario: Peyo, assistance: Delporte; 1976 album 10 at Dupuis; 1977 in Fix and Foxi Ein Schlumpfige Soup ; 1981 Carlsen in The Smurfs , Volume 10: The Smurfs Soup ; Toonfish ditto, 2012)

Content: A hungry giant, Grossbouf , eats Gargamel's food supplies. Gargamel recommends a smurf soup and sends the giant to the Smurfs. After Grossbouf found his way to the village by chance, the Smurfs made him believe that they were preparing a soup for him with four Smurfs as a filler. The four of them, provided with a magic ointment, swim in the boiling water and hide unnoticed before consuming the soup. After the meal, Grossbouf turns into a monster. The Great Smurf suggests that he ask Gargamel about an antidote.

  • Among the 16 albums by Peyo, the hungry Grossbouf ("Dicki Wanst" by Kauka, "Wolverine" by Bastei, "Hungry" by Toonfish, "Loudmouth" in the TV series) is the only person (or similar to humans) who has entered the enchanted land of Smurfs arrives (Gargamel lives there). Grossbouf appears again in 1997 with the family (The Smurfs in the Very Hungry Family) and 2001 (Wolverines and Lizards) .
  • For the only time in all comic stories Gargamel makes it in this adventure without finding any coincidence or any other help in the Smurf Village. Before that, he can be seen in isolated images on a trip around the world, which is similar to that of the detectives Dupond and Dupont in the Tintin adventure Le temple du soleil (Tintin: The Temple of the Sun) .
  • In addition to this story, album 10 also contains Deux schtroumpfs vivaient en paix (1971/72), one-page 44 and 57, and the one-page from 1976.
  • In the television episode Soup a la smurf (1981), Grossbouf appears childlike and speaks of himself in the third person. Apparently the Smurfs (and also their authors) don't think the giant is too clever, as the Smurfette, who also appears on TV, is available for the soup on the one hand, but on the other is among the Smurfs after the meal and continues to chat with the giant.

1979/80 Benco et les Schtroumpfs (Peyo). In 1979, 15 gag pages were created as an advertising order for the French instant cocoa brand Benco, which have not yet been published in the conventional albums (Dupuis, Lombard or Carlsen). The focus is on a (living) cocoa can, which is with the Smurfs and advertises the advantages of their product. Occasionally, individual pages can be seen at electronic network providers.

These pages must not be confused with another advertising contract for Benco in 1980. It was a 13-page sequel story; the material was later retouched and reused for Le Schtroumpf robot (1988). The Benco can was replaced by the Smurf robot.


1980 Les schtroumpfs olympiques (Peyo; 1983 album 11 at Dupuis; 1980 Bastei competition of the Smurfs , 1988 Carlsen in The Smurfs 11: The Smurf Olympics , 2012 ditto Toonfish album 11)

Content: The Muscle Smurf no longer wants to do sports alone, a Smurf Olympics are taking place. A weak-looking smurf ( Schtroumpf Chétif , German Schlappschlumpf) is encouraged individually.

  • The cover story was first released in Belgium on behalf of the Belgian Olympic Committee and Coca Cola Belgium, who distributed the album as a promotional gift back in 1979. This explains why there was a German album release the following year, almost three years before the regular Belgian album release.
  • After 14 years, this is the first long story in which Smurfette appears again (on the last page). From now on she can be seen in every other long story and thus a resident of the Smurf Village. This deviation from the male-dominated community may also have occurred with regard to the television series broadcast from 1981.
  • Schtroumpf Chétif is a very weak Smurf when it comes to physical activity and only appears in this story.
  • The content of the television episode The smurfic games (1984, The Smurfic Games ) comes mainly from this comic. In the TV episode, the Smurfs organize the games and, due to the different languages ​​(motifs from the 1972 comic, Schtroumpf vert et vert Schtroumpf one), form two large teams and a small one with Smurfette and the Silly Smurf. In contrast to the comic, Smurfette can be seen again and again in the film adaptation. The dramaturgical significance of the Schtroumpf Chétif from the comic comes to the Dummschlumpf in the TV episode.

1982 Le jardin des Schtroumpfs (Peyo; 1983 in Dupuis album 11; 1983 in Fix and Foxi; 1988 Carlsen A Smurfy Picnic in The Smurfs 11; ditto Toonfish 2012)

Content: Gargamel is building an amusement park with traps for the Smurfs. He catches some Smurfs as well as Smurfette. With the help of the Silly Smurf, he can be defeated.

  • For the first time since its creation, Schlumpfinchen meets its producer Gargamel.

1982 Le schtroumpf bricoleur (Peyo; journal title: Bon anniverschtroumpf ; 1984 in Dupuis album 12; 1983 in Fix and Foxi ; Carlsen: Der Bastelschlumpf , in The Smurfs Volume 12 (1988) or 11 (1999); Toonfish as Smurfy Inventions in Volume 12, 2012)

Content: The Smurfs want to bake a cake on the occasion of the 542nd birthday of the Great Smurf (Le Grand Schtroumpf va fêter ses 542 ans) . The handicraft smurf invents a drill and causes trouble with it.

  • At the beginning of the comic, some well-known Smurfs and, for the first time, Schtroumpf artiste (~ artist) and Schtroumpf infirmier (~ nurse) are presented.
  • In addition, a Smurf can be seen as a chimney sweep without a name with a characteristic costume (trousers, shirt and cap in a black and red scarf). In Schtrompferies 2 (1996) the hobbyist does such sweeping work, in the same album and in Schtroumpferies 4 (1999) a Smurf with a scarf and otherwise normally dressed can be seen as a chimney sweep. A name is not mentioned.
  • In the stories around 1982, the handicraft smurf can be seen for the first time with white dungarees. In later adventures, he first receives a red polishing pencil stuck behind his earlobe and then the dark blue dungarees that will characterize him in future.

1983 La peinture schtroumpf (Peyo; journal title: Des Schtroumpfs et des couleurs ; 1984 in Dupuis album 12; 1983 in Fix and Foxi ; Carlsen: Schlumpf painting, in The Smurfs Volume 12 (1988) and 11 (1999); Toonfish : Caution, freshly smurfed! In Volume 12, 2012)

Content: The Smurfs are supposed to repaint everything in the village. Gargamel experiments with a color that can make people and objects invisible.


1983 Une fête schtroumpfante (Peyo; journal title: Les Schtroumpfs et le grand lapin ; 1984 in Dupuis album 12; 1983 in Fix and Foxi ; Carlsen: Ein Schlumpfiges Fest , in Die Smurfiges Volume 12 (1988) and 11 (1999); at Toonfish dto. in Volume 12, 2012)

Content: Gargamel disguises himself as a white rabbit and is shot into the air by the Smurfs.


1984 Le bébé Schtroumpf (Peyo; 1984 album 12 with Dupuis; The Smurf Baby : Carlsen Volume 12 (1988) or 11 (1999), with Toonfish Volume 12, 2012)

Content: One night the Smurfs receive a baby Smurf from the stork, which is housed with the Smurfette. In order to investigate the question of the origin of such babies, the Spectacle Smurf asks the Great Smurf “D'où viennent les Bébés Schtroumpfs?” And receives a dissolute answer “Ah c'est une très bonne question! … Eh bien, vais-tu lorsque la lune est bleue, il peut parfois se schtroumpfer un évènement extraordinaire, comme par example, la venue d'un Bébé Schtroumpf! Nous pourrions en schtroumpfer toute la nuit, mais si je te dis que tout cela est en fait un grand mysterè, je schtroumpfe que tu me comprends! Non? ” , Which he later recognizes as meaningless: “ Mais ce n'est pas une explication, ca! ” . After the delivery of the baby turns out to be a mistake, the grumpy Schtroumpf Grognon, who has developed a special relationship with the baby, hides with him in the forest. The Smurfs set out to search; in the stressful situation, Gargamel, who suddenly appears, is spontaneously thrown out of this comic book story ( "Et d'abord vous n'avez rien à faire dans cette histoire! Allez, ouste!" - Gargamel: "Heu ... Excusez-moi! " ).

  • The subject of reproduction is also dealt with in Le Schtroumpf Sauvage (1998) and in strip 583 (1998–2003 Blagues ).
  • Under the collective title Le bébé Schtroumpf , the album came out in 1984, which in addition to the eponymous story also contains Le schtroumpf bricoleur , Le peinture schtroumpf and Une fête schtroumpfante .
  • The smurf baby can also be seen again in later comic book adventures.

1988 Les p'tits schtroumpfs (Peyo; 1988 album 13 on Dupuis; Die Minischlurfs : Carlsen Volume 13 (1989), also on Toonfish 2012)

Content: Schtroumpf Colérique , Schtroumpf Nature with a butterfly and the slack Schtroumpf Mollasson are sent at godfather's time, rejuvenate themselves and the butterfly by mistake and want to stay that way. Shrunk to around four fifths of their original size, they are two and a half apples tall, and the butterfly has become a caterpillar. The three choose the type and color of clothing themselves, they no longer want the classic white Smurf costume and demand more imagination when dressing: “Dis donc, ne viens pas nous schtroumpfer de stupides costumes classiques, hein? Un peu de fantaisie! ” . Since Smurfette is sad and wants a girlfriend, the Mini-Smurfs inquire about the recipe and ingredients for a Schtroumpfette and steal the necessary recipe from Gargamel (which is a little different from 1966), so that Smurfette finally comes to a playmate, the little Sassette.

  • The mini-smurfs Schtroumpf Colérique , Schtroumpf Nature and Schtroumpf Mollasson can only be seen occasionally in the later stories. Within the 25 albums, only Schtroumpf Nature (1991, Le Schtroumpf et son dragon ) and the Cholerische and Sassette appear again (2002, On ne schtroumpfe pas le progrès ).
  • The re-transformation of the caterpillar into a butterfly can be seen in Le Schtroumpf et son dragon (1991) and in Schtroumpferies 1 (1994, sheet 10). In On ne schtroumpfe pas le progrès (2002) the gardener smurf also keeps a caterpillar as a pet.
  • The following scene is difficult to translate into German: Tailleur (French) stands for “Schneider” and “Steinmetz”. The Big Smurf calls Tailleur to clothe the Mini Smurfs , but the stonemason with hammer and chisel comes first (Grand Schtroumpf: "Mais non, pas toi, Schtroumpf Tailleur! J'ai dit: Schtroumpf Tailleur et non pas Schtroumpf Tailleur!" Schtroumpf Tailleur (1): "Mais je suis le Schtroumpf Tailleur!" Un Schtroumpf: "Ce n'est pas simple, le schtroumpf, hein?" Un Schtroumpf: "Ah! Voilà le Schtroumpf Tailleur!" Schtroumpf Tailleur (2): “Venez, les p'tits!”) .
  • Especially from this story onwards, there are more and more exceptions regarding the uniform clothing of the Smurfs and the color of the clothing.
  • The Spectacles Smurf complains about a project by the Mini Smurfs; the explanation of the Great Smurf (in the original "Au pays des schtroumps chacun est libre de schtroumpfer ce qu'il veut" ) allows conclusions to be drawn about the civilization form of the Smurfs. The Carlsen translators acted quite freely and also brought in the word smurfocracy .
  • Some of the mini smurfs can be seen again and again. Together with Sassette and the butterfly, they appear again in 1997 in The Mini-Smurfs on the Moon and Ms. Nature and the Trickster .

1988 Le schtroumpf robot (Peyo; 17 pages; 1988 in Dupuis album 13; 1989 Carlsen Der Roboschlumpf , in The Smurfs Volume 13 (1989); also with Toonfish, 2012)

Content: The craft smurf makes a useful smurf robot, which can generate itself and produces sarsaparilla juice. Gargamel makes an identical-looking evil robot that produces poison.

  • The 13 Benco pages from 1980 have been reused and retouched for this story, and four pages have been added. Benco was replaced by the Smurf Robot, which poured sarsepareille juice. Otherwise the old drawings remained unchanged. This also explains why Smurfette with the baby appears in additional drawings within the story, while the craft Smurf is not shown with the dark blue dungarees that were already common at the time, but with the classic white costume of the old drawings. In the additional drawings he is only wearing white trousers, but the draftsmen have already stuck the red pencil behind his ear.

List of stories after 1988

In 1988, Peyo took the sale of Éditions Dupuis as an opportunity to found his own publishing house, Cartoon Creation, and from the end of 1989 he and his studio published the monthly magazine Schtroumpf , which provided the template for the Bastei magazine The Smurfs (monthly, 1991-2002) . 79 episodes of 4 pages each and 140 short stories of 8 pages each were created for this. A selection can also be found in some Bastei albums from the 1990s, in the four-part series Smurf Stories (Carlsen for Kids, 1998) and in the seven-volume series The World of Smurfs (Toonfish, from 2012).

In 1992, Peyo signed a contract with the Brussels publishing house Le Lombard to publish his comics there in future, provided that he would deliver at least one album a year - including his other comic series Johann and Pfiffikus and Benni Bärenstark . This agreement is still valid today among his successors.

Single-sided and stripper (strips)

1994 Schtroumpferies 1 (Peyo creations).

  • Like the other Schtroumpferies , the album contains 44 “one-pagers”, which were created in the eighties: On one joke page, the Smurf baby wears pink clothes like in Le schtroumpf robot . On the other side, the craft smurf is still wearing white dungarees.
  • The individual pages contain Peyo's signature from album 16. The numbering of the one-pagers that appeared in the Schtroumpferies starts again with 1 (although numbers up to 86 have already been assigned to the one-pagers from the 1970s); in the case of references / quotations in this bibliography, the new one-page “-II” is added. The sheets appeared in the albums neither chronologically nor in blocks. Sheet 1-II was only printed in the second album Schtroumpferies
  • On sheet 18-II you can see a picture of Pirlouit in Smurfette's living room, in this one-pager the ice skater Schtroumpf Patinier appears.

1996 Schtroumpferies 2 (Peyo).

  • The album contains a further 44 "one-pagers". (*) In sheet 1-II, the Great Smurf developed a reduction potion after 10 years of work; Gargamel already possessed such a mixture in Le voleur de Schtroumpfs (1959).
  • The signature “© Peyo”, which has been common since 1992, can be found from sheet 56-II.
  • The lumberjack Schtroumpf Bûcheron can be seen for the first time, here still in a classic white costume. In Les Schtroumpfs joueurs (2005) he wears a woolen hat and a red-brown checked jacket.

1997 Schtroumpferies 3 (Peyo). In 128-II, Le petit schtroumpferon rouge from 1972 is played again. Backdrops, costumes and even the patch in the wolf's clothing have remained the same. In 76-II, some Smurfs dive underwater and keep their hats on even there.


1998-2003 Blagues . Between 1998 and 2003 over 600 incidents, each one strip long, were created. In summary, but not chronologically, these comic strips have been published by Le Lombard in album format with additional drawings under the title 120 blagues de schtroumpfs et autres surprises since 2007 . Five albums had been released by 2012.

  • First album (2007): The medieval atmosphere is no longer reflected in some strips at all. For example, in one joke, a Smurf wants to be active in an anti-terrorist unit. Another Smurf collects small Smurf figures. In other depictions safes, gas stoves, aliens the size of a Smurf or permanent waves in Smurfette. Small soccer players are searched for in a newspaper advertisement in the front cover, some Smurfs are interested and end up as figures tied to a table soccer device. In some strikers, the fact of being in a comic is even included: To get over an abyss, a Smurf uses the ink line on the upper edge of the picture as a rope. In the game of hide and seek, Smurfs, trees, bushes and background colors disappear during the count, so that one Smurf is only on a white sheet of paper.
  • Second album (2008): A Schtroumpf actor appears in strip 411, a Génie Schtroumpf in 546 , but who disappears into his bottle forever. In strip 84, 156 Smurfs can be seen in one picture. In strip 583, a Smurf realizes that a relationship or marriage with Smurfette can result in a few little Smurfs.
  • Third album (2009): This volume contains the strip with the number 1: After waking up in the morning, the Lazy Smurf is happy that it is raining outside - because he can stay in bed. In strip 98, the handicraft smurf invented the television set. Unfortunately there is no electricity in the Schlumpfdorf.
  • Fourth album (2010): In strip 195 you can see Smurfette in a wedding dress, in strip 366 you can see the Big Smurf without a cap (because he is swimming in a lake). The little prince is parodied in a gag drawing: Smurfissimus approaches the flying Smurf, which has crashed, with pencil and paper in the desert and asks him: "Draw me a Smurf!"

1999 Schtroumpferies 4 (Peyo).

  • In one of the one-pagers (153-II) a Smurf deals with meteorology and owns a globe. In some of the stories it looks like the Smurfs have small allotment gardens with hedges near their homes. The Wild Smurf can be seen again in 160-II.

2001 Schtroumpferies 5 (Peyo).

  • In 177-II the Spectacles Smurf finds an old wooden horse that the Great Smurf, very young, received for his 5th birthday ( Je l'ai recu pour mon Cinquième anniversaire et je L'ai perdu l'année d 'après ). In 183-II the dumb Smurf covers an enormously long way from a jungle over the sea, the desert and a glacier to the Smurf village. Compared to Le pays maudit from 1961, this journey is shown to be far less arduous.
  • In 218-II the Big Smurf has a globe with continents drawn in in the usual modern representation. When asked which area of ​​the Smurfs Village can be reached in 6 months, he replied after a long calculation: Zanzibar . This is of little help in locating the Smurfs' village, especially since it is not even known exactly how quickly the Smurfs can move. Le pays maudit (1961) and other stories only suggest that Smurfs seem to be able to keep up with humans.
  • The smurf from Un Schtroumpf pas comme les autres (1969) is not mentioned by name. The soulmate Schtroumpf Voyageur appears in one page 214 in this album .
  • Only once does the Spectacles Smurf manage to bring his remarks closer to an audience: He holds (sheet 180) a literary evening in front of some interested Smurfs.

But he is forced to study by his mother (blue coat, red cape, black hat) because of his bad report from the magician school. Gargamel explains to her that he “just wanted to play” with the Smurfs.

  • Smurfette teaches the Smurfs, Gargamel attends the wizarding school. With imagination one can see these plot elements without contradiction to the content of the classic albums (especially La Schtroumpfette , 1966). The appearance of Gargamel's mother is remarkable, she takes no notice of the Smurfs.

  • In the version by Bastei Gargamel has the name "Gurgelhals", as in the Kauka arrangement, his brother is called "Schmurgelhals" in this version.

  • In La flûte à six schtroumpfs (1958) a magic flute with six holes is in the foreground, Homnibus explains that only the Smurfs know the secret and the method of making these flutes; the flute tones of the instrument force people - but not Smurfs - to dance.

  • Grandma Smurf and Gargamel's mother make brief appearances. Above all, the peculiarities of the Smurf population with the elusive position of women go into this story. Brillenschlumpf speaks (in the German Bastei version) “Smurfette lives with us in the village. But she's not the mother of Baby Smurf. A white stork brought it over at the time. And then there is Grandma Smurf. But no, that's not the same. ”Another quote also leads the reader to implications: The Great Smurf thanks for a bouquet of flowers from the Dumb Smurf:“ Today is not Father's Day, but I'm still smurfing about it, Dumb Smurf. ”

Long stories

1992 Le Schtroumpf Financier (Peyo, assistance: Thierry Culliford (scenario), Alain Maury and Luc Parthoens (drawings); 1992 album 16 with Le Lombard; Der Finanzschlumpf 1994 as Bastei album 5, with Carlsen as Die Smurfs vol. 12 (1999 ); Volume 16 at Toonfish 2012)

Content: A Smurf gets some medicine for the Big Smurf and learns how to use money in the company of Oliver, Homnibus' servant. He then introduced gold coins in the Smurf Village. He receives the necessary gold from the Schtroumpf miner from the nearby mine, since the too soft material is only waste for him. While some Smurfs (gardener smurf, cook, baker, handicraft smurf) earn well from their goods or services after the introduction of gold coins, others have difficulties financially surviving their vocation. The prankster Smurf can just sell a great gift to the Muscle Smurf, who has it delivered as a gift to the Spectacles Smurf. The music smurf sells a single concert ticket to the gardener smurf because he needs the loud music for his plants because of the provoked rain. The Smurf poet cannot sell his poetry at all. The rotten Smurf is advised to go to work. A hungry Smurf who has run out of money will not get the cake he wants in the bakery, but he will get a discarded bread crust for free. The earners invest the money with the financial smurf, the needy can take out a loan against collateral. The gardener smurf wants to bury his money first and gets into trouble with Gargamel. Eventually, because of the stressful and money-dominating atmosphere, a Smurf decides to leave the Smurfs village and move to the forest. Almost all the Smurfs and Smurfette join him immediately, only the financial Smurf remains lonely in the village and realizes the nonsense of a financial system in the Smurfs village. The Big Smurf explains to the Financial Smurf that money that is good for people does not have to be good for the Smurfs. "L'argent a été par les humains pour les humains et ce qui est bien pour eux n'est pas toujours bon pour nous." .

  • The introduction of money to the Smurfs ultimately fails. Surely it is clearly shown that the Smurfs get along better without money. This aspect is occasionally used for interpretations of the Smurfs and their political structure; Texts about this album can also be found a little more often in secondary literature. (see the corresponding French article or).
  • In the portrayal in the album, the financial smurf didn't know what money or gold was before. Some Smurfs had got to know money and its meaning in older stories (in Le pays maudit a Smurf pays for his release, in La faim des Schtroumpfs they share a found treasure with the castle owner and buy food supplies for themselves, in Pièges à Schtroumpfs Gargamel becomes lured into a trap by the Great Smurf with gold coins).
  • The intellectual level of this story is slightly higher: it shows how the Smurfs deal with some of the problems that arise when using money (debt trap, emerging and badly performing industries, homeowners or tenants, savings and loan rates).
  • Money as a means of payment is no longer used by the Smurfs. This restriction, which the authors have adhered to since then, is noticeable when, for example in Les Schtroumpfs joueurs (2005) , the Smurfs use valuables as stakes, but no money and no tokens. In contrast, the Smurfs in Les schtroumpfs de l'ordre (2012) receive a sack of hazelnuts from the Big Smurf every month - probably in the sense of pocket money - which in that story can be used as a means of payment for penalties.
  • Schtroumpf Mineur (steel helmet, miner's robe, red scarf; shoes and pants are different) can be seen for the first time. His disparaging remark about gold is interesting: “C'est un métal trop malléable. Il glasses, mais c'est tout! ” . He supplies the Great Smurf with saltpeter from the nearby mine (1996, Doctor Schtroumpf ).
  • Furthermore, the drummer, Schtroumpf Tambour , and the carpenter, Schtroumpf Menuisier , are named for the first time. Like the Schtroumpf miner , both appear again in later stories.

1994 La horde du corbeau (46 pages; Johan et Pirlouit, Volume 14, at Le Lombard; scenario: Yvan Delporte, Thierry Culliford, drawings: Alain Maury; colors: Nine and Studio Leonardo; German Der Rabe des Khan , Carlsen Johann and Pfiffikus Volume 6 (1995); Johann and Pfiffikus Complete Edition Volume 5, Toonfish 2012)

Synopsis: The kingdom and the neighboring kingdoms are haunted by a horde of wild warriors from the Far East. Johan should therefore put together a contingent on behalf of the king. During a chess game with the Great Smurf, the magician Homnibus is attacked by fighters from the east and kidnapped due to his skills as a scientist. The Smurfs escaped unnoticed and are now trying to find Johan and Pirlouit.

  • The fact that the Big Smurf occasionally plays chess with Homnibus is mentioned in some stories (since 1990). In La horde… you see her for the first time at play. When the Big Smurf moves, two Smurfs carry the corresponding piece across the chessboard.
  • The Smurfs meet the King, who remembers ( Le pays maudit , 1961) and is very pleased, but upsets the situation in the Haunted Land a bit ( “Des Schtroumpfs! Dites, donc, ça fait longtemps qu'on ne s'est vus bien ? Et comment va votre ami, euh, Gargamel? Et son gentil petit animal? " ).

1995 Le Schtroumpfeur de bijoux (Scenario: Luc Parthoens, Thierry Culliford; Drawings: Alain Maury, Luc Parthoens; Album 17 by Le Lombard; Der Juwelenschlumpf , 1995 as Bastei Album 8, by Carlsen as Die Smurfs vol. 16 (2001); Volume 17 at Toonfish 2013)

Content: The prankster Smurf is captured by humans and forced to break in and steal due to its small size. Some Smurfs are looking for him in the human world and also clear up the machinations of a kidnapped prince.

  • The album was made after Peyo's death. From now on, a constant facsimile of Peyo's signature, preceded by a ©, can be seen in the drawings.
  • The enchanted land of the Smurfs is no longer so difficult for humans to reach.
  • The Muscle Smurf has now had a cherry red heart tattooed on his biceps.
  • In this story, the Smurfs have an unusual amount of contact and communication with humans; in a castle they are seen as jugglers' troops. It is also interesting that the Big Smurf succeeds in converting a gang member, but basically good-natured dwarf.
  • Under the white cap? The captured prankster smurf refuses to take off the white cap when changing clothes. Except in Les Schtroumpfs noirs (1959), the comic stories do not show what the male Smurfs have under their hats. In the 1976 movie, some Smurfs briefly lift their hats so that some of the bare heads can be seen: hairless and blue. In the Song of the Smurfs ( Vader Abraham , 1978) two lines of text read “Do you take your hats with you to bed? Yes, otherwise we are not complete. ”After its creation, the red-blonde cassette can be seen in a drawing (1988) without a cap.
  • 100 smurfs? The joker smurf gives the nice juggler a short description of the Great Smurf, its age and the number of Smurfs (one hundred): Il a une gross barbe, une culotte et un bonnet rouges. Cette année, il aura 543 ans aux chanterelles et c'est lui notre chef, à nous les Schtroumpfs! … On est cent! Et moi, je suis le Schtroumpf farceur. Since there are already 100 without Smurfette and they appear in this adventure, from the point of view of the authors, one should imagine exactly the male adult Smurfs living in the Smurfs village under the number 100 or understand the term Schtroumpfs / Smurfs accordingly somewhat limited (From this point of view From a point of view, therefore, the Sassette already known in the comic and the baby, like Smurfette, should not be taken into account).

1996 Docteur Schtroumpf (scenario: Luc Parthoens, Thierry Culliford; drawings: Alain Maury, Luc Parthoens (Indian ink); colors: Nine; album 18 by Le Lombard; Doktor Schlumpf by Carlsen as Die Smurfs vol. 14 (2001); volume 18 by Toonfish 2012)

Content: A Smurf tries to treat sick Smurfs and calls into question the traditional healing methods and home remedies of the Great Smurf. After a while, other Smurfs compete with him with acupuncture and psychotherapy .

  • It can be clearly seen in a drawing that the Smurfs delivered by the rattle stork have a navel (that of the Smurfette can be seen in On ne schtroumpfe pas le progrès , 2002, and that of the Schtroumpf Mineur in Les Schtroumpfs joueurs , 2005).
  • The conceited patient who appears in this story is called Schtroumpf Malade , the Smurf doctor is called Schtroumpf Médecin or Docteur .

1998 Le Schtroumpf Sauvage (Scenario: Luc Parthoens, Thierry Culliford; Drawings: Alain Maury, Luc Parthoens (Indian ink); Colors: Nine; Album 19 by Le Lombard; The Wild Smurf by Carlsen as The Smurfs Vol. 13 (1999); Volume 19 at Toonfish 2012)

Synopsis: Because of a forest fire, the Smurfs get food supplies for the cold season in a distant area. In winter, nuts are stolen from them, they pick up the perpetrator and encounter a “wild smurf” in him. Finally, a book ( Le Grand Livre des Schtroumpfs : "… ici se trouve schtroumpfée toute l'histoire des Schtroumpfs depuis des siècles et des siècles" ) reveals to the Great Smurf that a long time ago a stork lost a smurf baby over the forest.

  • In a flashback, adult Smurfs can also be seen looking for the previously lost Smurf baby. A more precise reference about the Smurfs or the time - whether it is the Smurfs of a previous generation (then an obvious question would be what happened to them) or the current Smurfs (then they would not have changed as the baby had grown up . Someone could have remembered the search at that time) does not take place.
  • Because of the lack of protective leaves and bushes due to the forest fire, Gargamel was able to find his way to the Smurf Village for some time.
  • End of story: In the end, the wild Smurf does not stay in the Smurf Village, but with his squirrels in the forest. Luc Parthoens talked about this special Smurf in an interview from 2003.
  • The Wild Smurf reappears in one-sided in Schtroumpferies 4 and 5.

The alchemist (from Le sortilège de Maltrochu , 1969) and Rachel ( La guerre des sept fontaines , 1959 and others) take part as spectators .

Content: Since the Smurfs are again quite divided among themselves, the Big Smurf would like to teach them a lesson. One day the Smurfs face another Smurf population, dressed in light gray or red-gray (Grand Chef) clothes. These gloomy Smurfs (Schtroumpfs gris) grin aggressively, appear belligerent and well armed and dispute the Salsepareille field, its dam and the backwater against the Smurfs. The Big Smurf seems to be above it all at first. But when the Muscle Smurf beats three of the others against an explicit order, the situation escalates and gets out of control for the Big Smurf as well.

  • This story is unusually violent for a Smurf comic. “Spanking” or “chaining” also occurs in other albums, but such actions increase enormously on this album. The dark Smurfs use corporal punishment for discipline.
  • In addition, the gloomy Smurfs carry out a demonstrative book burning and destroy all works and magic books from the Great Smurf. However, in the next album he will have his well-stocked library again.
  • The question of how one can always fall for the same great gifts from the prankster Smurf is answered by the Muscle Smurf after an occasion, occasionally he does not take such a joke offensive to anyone (Bah! On le connaît! Une bonne farce de temps à autre ne peut schtroumpfer de mal à personne) .
  • Some Smurfs each encounter a sinister caricature of themselves, The gloomy Prankster Smurf has even more brutal gifts. The other Spectacled Smurf openly admits to being an informer. On the other hand, the other handicraft smurf in dam building is an unconscionably sloppy builder, but can later construct very useful war machines. The two Smurfette immediately fight with each other. The attentive reader must also notice that there is no “imaginary cousin” of the Muscle Smurf who took part in some of the key scenes.
  • Although the militant demeanor (war of aggression, mania for conquest, interning the others, ...) of the gloomy Smurfs almost provokes a political interpretation, the authors succeeded in presenting a presentation that at least does not allow for a clear identification with any political structure.

2002 On ne schtroumpfe pas le progrès (scenario: Philippe Delzene, Thierry Culliford; drawings: Ludo Borecki, Pascal Garray; colors: Nine, José Grandmont; 2002 album 21 at Le Lombard).

Content: Based on an idea of ​​the lazy rotten Smurf, the hobbyist smurf first constructs wind-up automobiles and then machines for the miller, Schtroumpf Meunier (striped hat, scarf, brown shoes), the carpenter and the baker. Then he builds robots out of tree trunks. Later, the Gardener Smurf feels disturbed by the unnatural machine noise; his caterpillar in particular suffers so much that he moves into the forest with his belongings. Eventually the robots take over power in the Smurf Village.

  • From this story onwards, the rotten Smurf always carries a pillow with him - when he is not sleeping on it.
  • Most likely the Smurfs are vegetarians (ovo vegetarians). They can often be seen eating sarsepareille, eggs, and vegetables (especially nuts). However, it is not observed that they eat meat and fish. However, in this story (sheet 11), the Leckerschlumpf has a chain of knackwurst with him. In Salade de Schtroumpfs (2006, sheets 1 and 2) there is a picture with a ham in the dining room. In Einseiter 51 (1971) a smurf fishes, but without bait because he does not want to injure his fish (Un hameçon! Tu es schtroumpf. Pour quem es poissons se blessent ?!)

2003 Le Schtroumpf Reporter (scenario: Luc Parthoens, Thierry Culliford; drawings: Ludo Borecki; colors: Nine Culliford, José Grandmont; 2003 album 22 at Le Lombard).

Content: As the events of the Smurfs are not always correctly reproduced through word of mouth over time, the Great Smurf commissions an interested Smurf to document important events and correctly distribute them. The Smurfs then face some newspaper problems.

  • After the hobbyist Smurf saw the baby Smurf stamping two letter cubes in the sand, he invented the printing press. Why the baby had such cubes before the invention of printing is not explained.
  • On the occasion of the moon festival, the Smurfs dress up, u. a. as Indian (almost like a tie from Le cosmoschtroumpf , 1969), superman and Lucky Luke with a blade of grass.

2005 Les Schtroumpfs joueurs (scenario Luc Parthoens, Thierry Culliford; drawings: Ludo Borecki; colors: Nine Culliford; 2005 album 23 at Le Lombard).

Content: The Smurfs watch people gamble and imitate them. In addition, the forest in which the Smurfs' village and Gargamel's dwelling are located is to be cleared so that an amusement park can be built in the area. With significant support from the Great Smurf, Gargamel, Muscle Smurf and the gambler Schtroumpf Chançard (first and so far only appearance), the plans of the people are to be prevented.

  • What is unique is that the Smurfs and Gargamel stick together to a limited extent within a comic book story. While Gargamel is negotiating with other people, the Great Smurf even crawls under Gargamel's collar and tells him one.
  • The Big Smurf remarks in the dialogue that his Smurfs shouldn't copy anything from humans and that nothing good can be hoped for from humans (je vous ai déjà répété mille fois de ne jamais schtroumpfer chez les humains. Ils n'ont rien de bon à nous apporter) .
  • Taking off the hat is still taboo. The Spectacle Smurf loses his glasses and trousers when gambling, the hat is not available as an object of value that can be lost.
  • The kitten Poussy made a cameo on the first page of the story.
  • The first part of the album can be found online at http://www.read-box.com/ (entrez, bibliothèque).

2006 Salade de Schtroumpfs (scenario Luc Parthoens, Thierry Culliford; drawings: Ludo Borecki, Jeroen De Cominck; colors: © Nine Culliford; 2006 album 24 at Le Lombard).

Content: The Big Smurf finds mushroom infestation during the measly vegetable harvest and gives the gardener smurf a fungicide and a growth agent. Then the Big Smurf goes away. While in Le Schtroumpfissime (1964) there was still discussion and finally a deputy for the absent Big Smurf was elected by vote, there is now no representation. The cook smurf and the gardener's smurf use a far too high dosage of the fungicide, so that huge and tasty vegetables are formed first. After consuming it, the Smurfs are transformed, one after the other, into differently remodeled vegetable smurfs. The Muscle Smurf presides over the following debates about the already sick Smurfs. After all, all but the Chef Smurf, Gardener Smurf, Tasty Smurf and the Smurfette are contaminated.

  • This story can also appeal to more mature readers. The authors show that genetic manipulation substances can all too quickly fall into the wrong hands and then lead to disaster.
  • The Great Smurf calls the transformed Smurfs mutants.
  • All Smurfs and Smurfettes take part in a vote.
  • The Smurfs keep various memorabilia from past adventures in a memory (small magic flute, parts of the space Smurf's rocket, Smurfissimus sedan chair, ...).

2007 Un enfant chez les Schtroumpfs (scenario Miguel Diaz Vizose, Thierry Culliford; drawings: Joroen De Coninck, colors: © Nine Culliford; 46 sheets; January 2007 album 25 at Le Lombard).

Content: The Great Smurf and a stork crash during a flight. Under inconspicuous observation by the Great Smurf, the stork is being nursed back to health by an old farmer who still runs a farm (Grand Schtroumpf: "Ah! Si tous les humains pouvaient être aussi schtroumpfs." ). He can reach the Smurfs village in three hours on foot from the farm (“Et maintenant, trois heures de marche jusqu'au village”) . Soon afterwards the naughty nephew of the farmer, Jeanty, finds his way to the Smurf Village thanks to Schtroumpf Cuisinier , who is fleeing from him . Since he wants to learn magic from the Great Smurf, he discredits his uncle and initially stays with the Smurfs. Since he doesn't understand everything (Jeanty: "C'était pour rire, euh ... Grand Schnuck." Grand Schtroumpf: "Mon nom est Schtroumpf, petit. Grand Schtroumpf!" ), The Smurf explains to him who is small and who is big ("Petit, c'est toi, et Grand, c'est lui") . After a while, Jeanty meets Gargamel, in whom he believes he sees a new role model.


2008 Les Schtroumpfs et le livre qui dit tout (Peyo Creations, scenario: Alain Jost and Thierry Culliford; drawings: Pascal Garray; colors: © Nine Culliford; January 2008, album 26 at Le Lombard).

Content: The Big Smurf has to travel again. During his absence, the Smurfs found a book in the laboratory that can speak and provides passages in response to questions from the Smurfs. After a while, the book only allows access if the Smurfs are present. He then moves into a nearby tower and dresses in a purple robe. Eventually ominous magical powers take effect; The Spectacles Smurf refuses to obey the Great Smurf, who has since returned.

  • Since La flûte à six schtroumpfs (1958), the Smurfs have been using storks to cover long distances. In this comic from 2008 you can see for the first time a kind of airfield with a runway, wind flag, ascent ramp and the gardener's smurf, which feeds the stork before take-off (sheet 1).
  • After the Smurf finds out that the book wants to answer questions, he first asks about the known age of the Great Smurf and receives "542" as the answer (see "Age of the Great Smurf" in La flûte à six schtroumpfs , 1958).
  • In the dialogue with the book, two Smurfs are confronted with the origin of the word Schtroumpf : "... alors, comme il voulait du schtroumpf mais qu'il ne se souvenait plus du mot, il a dit:" "Passe-moi le ... le schtroumpf ! " " C'est donc ça L'origine des mot! On ne nous l'avait jamais dit! ” (Sheet 6).

2009 Schtroumpf les Bains (Peyo Creations, scenario: Alain Jost and Thierry Culliford; drawings: Pascal Garray; colors: © Nine Culliford; 46 sheets; April 2009, album 27 at Le Lombard).

Content: Since his newest machine is not working properly and the other Smurfs constantly and urgently ask him for repair work, the craft Smurf suffers a nervous breakdown. He recovers at a mountain lake near the Smurfs' village and builds a holiday village there for himself and his comrades. At the same time, Gargamel turns his cat Azrael into a hunting dog and tries to track down Smurfs with him. Instead, he is confronted with a mighty bear, flees and ends up in the Smurf Village by chance. He thinks he has found it abandoned and sets up camp there. The Smurfs on guard escape unnoticed and notify the others in the holiday village.

The Big Smurf makes Gargamel believe that his hut is on fire. Gargamel runs home, leaving a trail of cherries. The cherries are eaten by the bears, the Smurfs return to their village, the holiday paradise becomes a predator for beavers.

  • In a short flashback, you can see little Gargamel in his cradle, while Fafnir (1961, Le pays maudit) is shown on the cradle.

2010 La grande Schtroumpfette (Peyo Creations, scenario: Alain Jost and Thierry Culliford; drawings: Pascal Garray; colors: © Nine Culliford; 46 sheets; April 2010, album 28 at Le Lombard).

Content: The Big Smurf is traveling and appoints Smurfette to represent him. Contrary to expectations, the Smurfs are so enthusiastic about particularly good and useful ideas on the part of the Smurfette that they give her a red robe and hat and want to name her La Grande Schtroumpfette . She does not accept these honors because she does not want to take the place of the Great Smurf.

He is captured by Gargamel, who due to some complaints is announced a visit from members of the Order of Wizards. They want to inspect his laboratory and test him. The Big Smurf gives him tutoring in magic and has to secretly help him with the exam. Under the guidance of Smurfette, who puts on the red robe for a short time, the prisoner is finally released.

  • Gargamel is portrayed in this comic as an extremely stupid wizard, he cannot remember any formulas, his magic has undesirable side effects. In contrast, he is much more convincing in “Le voleur de Schtroumpfs” (1959/1963, he transforms into a Smurf) or “La Schtroumpfette” (1967, he creates Smurfette).

2011 Les schtroumpfs et l'arbre d'or (Peyo Creations, scenario: Alain Jost and Thierry Culliford; drawings: Pascal Garray; colors: © Nine Culliford; 46 sheets; April 2011, album 29 at Le Lombard).

Content: During a festival, the preserved and gilded trunk of the Aliboufier tribe (Styrax officinalis), which is highly valued by the Smurfs, is destroyed by lightning. From then on, the Smurfs attribute every mishap that occurs to the lack of this lucky charm. From the Big Book of the Smurfs (see 1998, Le Schtroumpf Sauvage) you learn that a traveler once happened to come to the Smurf Village and gave some seeds from this tree as thanks for the hospitality. The Smurfs try to buy such a tree in a botanical garden, but are betrayed. According to an idea of ​​the Great Smurfs, a midnight ceremony under a full moon is supposed to remedy the misfortune that still haunts the Smurfs. But only when they manage to defeat Gargamel can the Big Smurf convince the rest of the nonsense of superstition.

  • Homnibus is using a walking stick here for the first time.
  • The stranger who leaves the seeds of the Aliboufier tribe to the Smurfs in a flashback is a caricature of the Smurf finder Peyo , but without glasses.

2012 Les schtroumpfs de l'ordre (Peyo Creations, scenario: Alain Jost and Thierry Culliford; drawings: Jeroen De Coninck; colors: © Nine Culliford; 46 sheets; March 2012, album 30 at Le Lombard).

Synopsis: Due to its laboratory work and experiments, the Big Smurf has too little time to settle the insignificant disputes between the Smurfs. He therefore appoints the Smurfette as the guardian of order. As part of this activity, the Brillenschlumopf also demands fines (means of payment: nuts, see Le Schtroumpf Financier , 1992). After the Muscle Smurf refuses to pay on such an occasion and hits, he must assist the Spectacles Smurf.

The Smurfs set up a fairground in which some facilities are sabotaged shortly after the opening. There are also caricatures because of the force of order brought about by the Spectacle Smurf and Muscle Smurf. The saboteur is caught, the convicted Smurf saw himself being neglected by his fellow Smurfs and wanted to make a name for himself as an inconspicuous Smurf without special characteristics and to make a name for himself and see his wrong behavior. Spectacles Smurf and Muscle Smurf resign from their offices, but it is probably up to the Big Smurf to take care of the rest of the Smurfs.


2013 Les schtroumpfs à Pilulit (Peyo Creations, scenario: Alain Jost and Thierry Culliford and Poeti; drawings: Pascal Garray; colors: © Nine Culliford; 46 sheets; German first publication June 2013).

Content: The poet Smurf Poeti begins to write prose, as the lyrical poems are less and less appreciated by the Smurfs, and writes a novel in which some Smurfs have an accident on a ship and meet a people of dwarfs who call themselves Pilus and live in Pilulit . The Smurfs stand by the side of the small creatures even in their eyes for a while. In the framework of the story, Poeti gives the book to the Smurfs of the Glasses, who does not particularly appreciate it and leaves the book on a meadow for a short time. The manuscript is found there by a bard with a horse named Gulliver, who takes it.

  • In this story, the Smurfette does not only seem know-it-all, even if he sees himself portrayed in this way. He succeeds in being the first to earn the Piluts' trust. He later makes the remark that the Pilus system, which has three village heads, is more progressive than that in the Smurfs village, where the Big Smurf is exclusively dominated by the Smurf. He also welcomes the international understanding between the Pilus and the Smurfs and makes the remark that true greatness comes from within and has nothing to do with height.
  • In addition to the allusion to the novel Gulliver's Travels, there is an allusion to the Asterix comic series or the Asterix book "Asterix with the British", since the Smurfs smurf brings a Latin quote that the pirate tripod utters in the said Asterix book after Asterix and Obellx sank the pirate ship. The allusion is made directly, as reference is made to the asterix tape in a corresponding footnote.

2014 Les schtroumpfs et l'amour sorcier (Peyo Creations, scenario: Alain Jost and Thierry Culliford; drawings: Jeroen De Coninck; colors: © Nine Culliford; 48 sheets; German first publication July 2014).

Content:


2016 Les Schtroumpfs et le demi-génie [Peyo Creations, scenario: Alain Jost and Thierry Culliford; Drawings: Jeroen De Coninck, Miguel Diaz; Colors: © Nine Culliford; 46 sheets; April 2016, album 34 on Le Lombard].

Content: Spectacles Smurf and Muscle Smurf empty an old amphora and in the process set free a Djinn, who sees them as his masters. Gargamel also comes across a genie. When the two jinn confront each other, it turns out that they are brothers. They tell their story: In the world of the jinn, each of them could only do magic very poorly, but together they spent brilliant magic. Locked in a glass ball by the prince of the Djinn and rescued into the human world by their educator, they reached the enchanted land of the Smurfs.

In the concrete situation, perfect magic is only possible if Gargamel, Spectacle Smurf and Muscle Smurf express the same wish together. The Smurfs want to release the Djinn, Gargamel refuses. Finally, it is agreed that the two Djinns, as well as Spectacle Smurf and Muscle Smurf, will stay with the warlock. However, the two Smurfs are only allowed to support Gargamel with reasonable wishes, but not with the accumulation of wealth.

Using a mysterious map of Homnibus, the Great Smurf recognizes how the Djinn can return to their world. Gargamel is now assured of help for the following request: Everything that the sorcerer touches should turn into gold ...

Further information: The German terms are not clear even within a publisher. In the Bastei translation (1993) of La Schtroumpfette (1966) , Schtroumpf gourmand is called the “baker's smurf”. In the short stories of around 2000 he is again called Feinschmeckerschlumpf. In this bastion translation from 1993, Schtroumpfette was called Smurfette as in TV, and in the later bastion adventures as in Kauka Smurfette . The old Kauka names are used in the Toonfish translation as a kind of surname, e.g. B. the surprise Smurf in the album Blue Smurfs and Black Smurfs is referred to by the Big Smurf as Jokey, the prankster Smurf . The Big Smurf is only referred to as such in the new translations of the Johann und Pfiffikus albums, otherwise as Papa Smurf -

A correct classification of the first appearances of Witzboldschlumpf, Brillenschlumpf and Grognon Smurf is somewhat problematic because of the different design of the first 6 stories in the mini-récits on the one hand and the associated album versions on the other. Joker Smurf and Spectacled Smurf were sometimes only drawn for the albums. We only find out about Grognon's appearance in Les Schtroumpfs noirs (1959) in L'Œuf et les Schtroumpfs (1960).

Albums (Dupuis and Lombard in Belgium; Kauka, Carlsen, Bastei and Toonfish)

The stories contained in albums 14 and 15 were split up by Bastei into kiosk albums 1, 3 and 4 as well as the first issues of Schlumpf magazine. Carlsen Verlag published two series of albums: the first from 1979–1989 comprised by and large the first 13 original volumes (in a partially modified compilation), the second from 1996–2001 brought it to 16 albums and extends to original no. 20, omitting the French volumes 11 and 13-15. The Toonfish edition from 2011 corresponds to the content of the Dupuis / Lombard edition and is currently complete. In addition, a so-called “compact edition” was published there in four volumes, which once again gathers the “classic” Peyo stories (up to 1988) in the album version, arranges them chronologically and adds illustrations and comprehensive information on their creation.
