I agree with you that I think the others were added for merchandising.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-79264595570871090872011-07-31T23:04:04.315-04:002011-07-31T23:04:04.315-04:00JoeBlow!

Brainy Smurf would be proud of you!<br /><br />-DeanDean Greyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014573083751127043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-9105174435348609162011-07-31T20:41:56.385-04:002011-07-31T20:41:56.385-04:00Thanks, Mistress Maddie.

Apparently, Papa Smurf turned her into a real smurf with magic--he must have put her in drag, LOL.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-33365590522796505902011-07-30T19:47:13.394-04:002011-07-30T19:47:13.394-04:00Ha!

I would buy they were a gay clan, and I think smurfette was a drag smurf. Since they are all boys, how did a girl smurf show up. I remember the Magic Flute movie they were in, I believe it was a orginal smurf movie, mostly musical!Mistress Maddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02098940220513091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-21211132042112782592011-07-29T19:43:30.154-04:002011-07-29T19:43:30.154-04:00LOL, Jay.LOL, Jay.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-8021412273314612492011-07-29T19:42:19.780-04:002011-07-29T19:42:19.780-04:00Youngster!

Thanks for your comments.<br /><br />Jay, yes, they were a little gay acting, but then again, most children's shows are. They are meant to be more asexual. I have to admit though that H.R. Pufnstuf always kind of freaked me out. I don't know why, but I think it is like clowns, they were just always a little scary, LOL.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-47917854086141406712011-07-29T13:11:00.513-04:002011-07-29T13:11:00.513-04:00I wasn't into the Smurfs too much, as I was ou...I wasn't into the Smurfs too much, as I was out of the cartoon watching stage by then, but I remember friends sniggering about them, and their 'gayness". <br /><br />Now the one I got into was H.R. Pufnstuf, because I had a crush on the human kid Jimmy (Jack Wild), who winds up on Pufnstuf's island with his talking flute called Freddie. (I refreshed my memory from Wikipedia.) He was the same age I was, and I was in love!<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-74613013723158103612011-07-29T09:45:49.713-04:002011-07-29T09:45:49.713-04:00I think this suggestion about the Smurfs (and Bert...I think this suggestion about the Smurfs (and Bert and Ernie) is pretty common.
