    • Trivia
      Unlike the cartoon series, where the main staple of the Smurfs' diet is Smurfberries, in the comics it is sarsaparilla (smilax regelii), a plant native to the Americas used as an ingredient for soft drinks like root beer. Peyo's partner Yvan Delporte introduced it to the comics because he found the name magical ("salsepareille" in French), and the word seemed so foreign to Peyo he originally believed Delporte made it up.
    • Quotes

      Gargamel: Ooo, those goody-goody Smurfs make me sick!

      Azrael the Cat: Reow-row-row-reowww!

    • Alternate versions
      If one watches a "Smurfs Adventure" (the show's name during syndication) episode in Spanish on Boomerang or Cartoon Network, the last half of "The Smurfy Way" plays instead of the music from the syndicated intro.

    cartoon classic

    I used to love The Smurfs when I was a kid. They were a true highlight. I've been hearing lots of stuff lately that they were socialists and all the stuff about stereotyping, but I think that's digging in a bit too deep. The show was obviously aimed at kids. What do kids care about such things? I didn't. I thought the Smurfs were cute and the episodes were all good. For some reason, I've never been able to get such episodes as "The Purple Smurfs" and "Forget-Me-Smurf" out of my mind. Those episodes made huge impact on me. I think every kid would be enchanted by these little blue creatures. I loved them.
