BRUSSELS, Belgium - The Smurfs - led by Papa Smurf and Smurfette - kicked off a year of 50th birthday celebrations yesterday with Smurfberry cake and sarsaparilla juice.
The late cartoonist Pierre Culliford - best known by his pen name, “Peyo” - introduced the tiny blue figures in a comic strip in October 1958. He called them Schtroumpf; they became known worldwide as the Smurfs.
The Smurfs, forest dwellers who live in little mushroom homes, developed their “Smurf” language in which nouns and verbs were interchanged.
