I can’t believe no one has mentioned Smurfette! Although blue and only 3 apples high, she was a babe! One of my first crushes…
I, too, really liked Grouchy Smurf <I HATE the SDMB!> and Jokey Smurf <BANG! He he he he!>. I was also fond of Clumsy Smurf <Gawsh, Papa Smurf, I didn’t mean to trip and fall and break the dam and endanger all of our lives!>
The Smurfs were one of the best all-time shows. I can’t wait for the live-action film.
I believe the definitive source for the story of “Le Cosmoschtroumpf” would be the album (sixth in the series) of the same name by Peyo.
See at The Smurfs’ Offical Site the list of Smurf Books
Shouldn’t the plural of “smurf” be “smurves”?
I thought about that when writing the OP. Since dwarf has two accepted plural forms (dwarfs and dwarves), it follows, by analogous reasoning, that both smurfs and smurves are correct. I selected the former on the strength of esthetical judgment.
Arnold:
Thanks for the links. I am about to check them out. I am so excited, this is gonna be so 
.Smurfs (smurves? 
) rock!
I liked Clockwork Smurf. He was the robot version of a smurf and was built by Handy Smurf. He never spoke, but I thought he looked neat.
I hated Jungle Smurf. Think Tarzan, only blue and three apples high.
BTW, Johann and Peewit sucked.
I was a big fan of “Rotting corpse Smurf”.
Napalm sticks to smurfs.
I was always a fan of Grouchy. Anyone who hates everything is A-OK in my book.
You’re welcome quasar. Since you seem interested in Smurfs, it may not be necessary for me to inform you that the smurfs originated in the belgian comic books, written in french, by Peyo.
The first appearance of the “schtroumpfs” (the original name) was actually in another series, “Johan et Pirlouit: La flûte à six schtroumpfs” (you can also see the list of Johan et Pirlouit albums at the site I mentioned above).
Finding those books at a bookstore in an english-speaking country would probably be difficult. If you wanted to buy them, I would suggest an online french bookstore such as
