I watched these little blue suckers faithfully when I was a wee-one. Started by Peyo in 1958, The Smurf's celebrated their 50th birthday today. In case you forgot or don't know The Smurfs are tiny blue things that live in little white-capped mushroom in a secret forest. It doesn't weird you out when your 7. And like McDonald's, they have their own language, adding "Smurf" to everything and interchaning nouns and verbs.

To celebrate the birthday here's my favorite Smurf story, Smuckfest. It explains why Smurf's are blue.
