Pierre Culliford (1928-1992) :
Belgian cartoonist. Created the
Smurfs. Said to be very
conservative, not to say downright
fascist. Remember that book in which the Grand Smurf is away, and then the Smurfs elect another Grand Smurf, all of this resulting into a fierce caricature of
democracy ? Still, some say
the Smurfs are communist!
I don't care. I love the Smurfs.
Everybody loves the Smurfs, all over the world. "La la la schtroumpf la laaaaa..." (the Smurf's song, in
French).
