Happy 50 years, Smurfs!!!
They’re turning 50 without a hint of gray.
Just blue. Lots of blue. ( too bluish for me
)
The Smurfs ( originally Les Schtroumpfs in French) — led by Papa Smurf and Smurfette — kicked off a year of 50th birthday celebrations Monday with Smurfberry cake and sasparilla juice.
The late cartoonist Pierre Culliford — best known by his pen name, “Peyo” — first introduced the tiny blue figures in a comic strip in October 1958. He called them Schtroumpf; they became known worldwide as the Smurfs.
