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.
