“…a much richer texture than the typical comic aimed at children.”
On this episode we talk about The Smurfs. Yes, the Smurfs. The original comics from the 196s written and drawn by the Belgian author Peyo. Specifically we will be discussing four stories: Purple Smurfs, The Smurfette, King Smurf, and Smurf vs Smurf. This was meant to be a frivolous conversation about a kid’s comic but surprisingly there were deeper themes hiding under the surface. Who knew?
In addition we talk about comic book smells, ramble for a while about what a kid’s comic really is, and we mention our lunch.
As always, thanks for listening.

I never knew how much lore there was to this series, nor the darker side to it. I just always saw it as a dorky kids comic. 5 stars for not wanting rice in a burrito. I love rice, just not in a burrito.
Great episode guys, I always love learning about the different comic series here… it’s always so easy to listen to :)
