    101 Smurfs, one of them a woman. There’s either a lot of gay smurfing going on, or it’s the hole.

    (Incidentally, did you ever notice that no matter how many new Smurf characters they added, there were always 101 Smurfs? I’m not suggesting they practised ritual sacrifice to keep their numbers at a specific level. I’m just saying it was 101 before Smurfette and Baby and 101 after Smurfette and Baby.)

      They have a tesseract for that. Which makes sense when you think about it, what with their entire village being near only a single human habitation, and that being a wizard.

        A wizard who could not decide whether he wanted to eat the Smurfs or turn them into gold. I mean they must taste really good if he was torn like that.

          In the comic at least, a smurf is the last ingredient Gargamel needs to make a philosopher’s stone.

            I’m pretty sure they were not clear on that in the cartoon (at least in the U.S.) and I would support that by saying that they had to change Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in the U.S. because they thought American kids wouldn’t understand.

            That makes it worse though… either eat them or give himself the god-like powers of the philosopher’s stone which includes transmuting anything into gold. And he can’t decide.

          Makes me wonder if the whole universe of smurfdom is just Gargamel tripping on shrooms he picked and ate, then started seeing the rest as houses.
