The tiny blue #Smurfs we know and #love were #created by #Belgian #cartoonist #Peyo. In fact, the name #Smurf is the #Dutch #translation for “Schtroumpf”, a #word invented when Peyo momentarily forgot the #French word for #salt during a #dinner with a fellow cartoonist. #TheSmurfs #Belgium (photo: Jason Wilson - Flickr)
