The Smurfs and the Bratty Kid by Peyo

May 31, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had little knowledge of the Smurfs history outside of them being from Belgium, they were “three apples high” and blue. I knew the cartoon of the 1980s, but at the time unaware of its comic/graphic novel background.

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
