Brainy Smurf, distinguished by his large glasses, likes to think of
himself as the most intelligent Smurf in the village and an expert on
everything, although he is often wrong. He is Papa Smurf's student and
assistant. Brainy's best friend is Clumsy. Clumsy Smurf has a kind
heart, being distinguished by his baggy clothing, adding to his clumsy
appearance. He is known by his hobby of collecting rocks.
Reporter
Smurf is the news bulletin reporter for the Village. He likes to write
sensational articles and interviews different Smurfs for publication in
his newspaper, which he prints using his printing press, which is
maintained by Handy Smurf. Wearing a visor attached to the front of his
cap and a pencil above his ear, Handy Smurf is the handyman of the
Smurfs. He helps fix things in the village and is known for his amazing
technological discoveries, such as Tele-Smurf, Weather Smurfing Machine
and Smurf-mobile.
An awful lot has been said and written about
the Smurfs since their creation in 1958 by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo,
and not all of it, by any means can be true. Here are some of the
stories and conjectures about the Smurfs, but the author takes no
responsibility for the authenticity of any of the supposed facts
mentioned. The sources of many stories and rumours are impossible to
verify, but you may find some amusing...
Peyo originally named the Smurfs the Stroumpfs, but the name had to be changed as it was too hard for some to spell
Peyo made the Smurfs faces blue because he:
a) Had run out of red pencils
b) Found pink to be too "girlie"
c) Thought red looked too alcoholic
d) Found blue to be the perfect complimentary colour to red, making the figures stand out better on the page
It
has been claimed that SMURF stands for "Socialist Men Under a Red
Father", and that the Smurfs' way of life is meant to demonstrate to the
world the success of communism as described by Karl Marx. Surely it is
just a coincidence that Papa Smurf has a beard like Marx, that all the
Smurfs each have their own specific job and do their bit for the whole
community, that all are dressed alike, and all eat together at a
communal table?
Smurfette has been thought by some to be the
product of a misogynist mind that wanted to undermine feminism, and
belittle female achievement. This surely can't be so. Seriously, no one
wants to learn things the hard way nonetheless, there are always
options. There are guides available already on the net, and I would
recommend to anyone who wants to play this game effectively,considering
one if its not too pricey.
Overall I would say that this is a fun
game and I definitely worth a download at least. There are approx 90
million iPhone-users worldwide ( as at Jan 2011 ) pick this App to be
one of the best, I would say that if your view differs perhaps you fall
outside the 10% of the bell curve:) Anyway this is my take on this
matter anyhow.
The only downside I personally feel is that after
playing this game, I felt that at a certain point, you would have to
purchase some Smurfberries ( with real cash ) to make decent progress in
the game.
