The Collected Edition

Collected Edition: Episode 111: The Smurfs


Listen Later

“…a much richer texture than the typical comic aimed at children.”

On this episode we talk about The Smurfs. Yes, the Smurfs. The original comics from the 196s written and drawn by the Belgian author Peyo. Specifically we will be discussing four stories: Purple Smurfs, The Smurfette, King Smurf, and Smurf vs Smurf. This was meant to be a frivolous conversation about a kid’s comic but surprisingly there were deeper themes hiding under the surface. Who knew?

In addition we talk about comic book smells, ramble for a while about what a kid’s comic really is, and we mention our lunch.

As always, thanks for listening.
