Where do Smurfs Come From?

Hello and welcoem back to Franked Up Toons!!!

Well it's Valentine's Day (at least it was yesterday).  And in honor of spending my 1st Valentine's day with my girlfriend Joanna I'd like to dedicate this new sketch to her featuring her favorite cartoon characters... THE SMURFS.

Yes the Smurfs, a popular comic strip from Belgium, to a classic cartoon, and now a major motion picture.  Back in High School I had to deal with a bunch of idiots who said that "all the smurfs had sex with Smurfette to populate the Smurf Race" being that Smurfette is the only female smurf (except for that little girl with the pink overalls).  Well here is the truth....

There originally were no girl smurfs!!! In the episode "The Smurfette", Smurfette was created by the evil wizard Gargamel to cause the fall of the Smurfs but it became the opposite.  If you want to explain where Smurfs come from my guess is the stork which you see in the show's intro or watch the Baby Smurf episode.

However it did give me the idea for the illustration below. I tried to envision Smurfette creating the Smurf Village birth by birth.


And there you have it.  Hope this brought a smile or chuckle to your face. More Franked Up Toons to come so stay tuned.

With apologies to Peyo.

Betty Rubble?!

Welcome and thank you for your support on the last toon.  It was good to get a few laughs however this cartoon may make you throw up.

I am not a fan of Rosie O' Donnell. I like her as much as Rowdy Roddy Piper likes Mr. T.
Nothing but venom comes out of her mouth. And I still can't believe she was picked to play Betty Rubble (one of the cutest cartoon characters of all time).  Craig Yoe's Weird but True Toon Factoids! revealed that in Esquire Magazine 58.2% Men would want to "Yabba Dabba Do-It" with Betty Rubble (and 30.4% chose Wilma).

So what Did Betty have to say about Rosie playing her...

EXTRA! Dr. Claw and Nanny get enganged!

This is an idea Seth Green would love to steal.

We all remember Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget.

And Nanny from Jim Henson's Muppet Babies.

Well one thing these 80s cartoon characters had in common was you never saw what they looked like. (well at least we saw all but Nanny's face all we saw of Dr. Claw was his hands).

What if these 2 met. Well Your's Truly snagged an nvitation to their wedding.

I wonder how Baby Rowlf will get along with Mad Cat?

With Apologies to Jim Henson and DiC Entertainment.

Welcome to "Franked Up Toons"

Hi my name is Frank and welcome to "Franked Up Toons"

Every once in a while I will upload and illustration based on classic cartoons with my take on it. If you like Robot Chicken, Family Guy Flashbacks, How ____ Should've Ended, then this is the site for you.

Each upload will be either a comic or one panel story joke on what should've happened in an animated movie or show, show my take on a deleted scene, or post just a funny toon related joke.

Finally I do not own the right to these cartoons, nor am I marketing them in any way shape or form. The site just sheer fun.  I am open to requests too.
