Ever wonder where
The Smurfs came from? Was Papa Smurf the progenitor of all smurfness? Would Smurfette forever be the only the female sent by Gargamel to cause jealousy and unrest in the otherwise male community?
I certainly have. I love those little forest imps (only three apples tall) and their awesome smurfin' singing. I can hear it now.
