Yes, the BBC has a full page article on that age old question: do the Smurfs provide a good model for society? (Includes discussion of the UN film made against warfare on civilians where Smurfette is blown up in an aerial bombing raid.) - James
Keeping you informed of all the news that shouldn't be in print.
A post like this has to have visuals. Tongue

[Image: TgC_comic141.gif] To answer the question; we're talking about a community where there's one female outnumbered by what remain blue males despite that, and she's a single mother. Which beg's the question, who's the daddy?
Sounds like it's not a matter of asking does it hold potential as a model of society, but rather is a model of society.

Almost sounds like society immediately after the Biblical flood: a small cast of characters, few females, must have incest to repopulate.

Incest. Repeat of history as from, in the beginning...god created three men and one woman. After which murder and bad math boiled it down to 2 men and one woman.
Good thing I would go there, saying; the family that lays together stays and prays together and Yahweh was pleased.
Nah, I'd not do that.

I think smurfette is the sacred mother goddess, taking and dismissing lovers as she sees fit. Are they a good model? Hell no.

Smurfette never had kids. Sassette was created by Gargamel as well as the other children.

Even as a kid I thought this cartoon was dumb.

Interesting how, nowadays, anything of a certain vintage comes to be perceived as a sort of esoteric source of epiphany which is then devoured by the masses.

That's not what the smurf site says
.

One night when the moon was blue, a stork brought Baby Smurf to the village. No one knows where he came from. Immediately adopted by all the Smurfs, he completely changed their quiet little lives - but no one's complaining. Everyone loves Baby Smurf, with all his good and his bad sides!


Because saying baby Smurf came to be because Smurfette got drunk playing a game of quarter shots and ended up as the main attraction in a blue orgy, would be wrong.
Yes, big bird bearing baby bundle is much nicer. And so G rated. Boring, with visuals of stork droppings, but definitely G rated.

Disagree. That would be about right. That's how it usually happens.

Wait, so Smurfette had an immaculate (blue) conception?
