I grew up wat...Doesn't look like Smurfs to me. I grew up watching the Smurfs cartoon as a kid and have read a number of the Peyo Smurfs graphic novels as an adult. The comics are quite good and Peyo uses the Smurfs to satirize human behavior. As for this, well, I'm not sure what to make of it.<br /><br />Judging by this post and the one you linked to, it seems we have similar views of the dwarfs. I always thought it was interesting that they saved Snow White's life a couple of times in the original story. They were more the heroes than the prince was. Also, if you take the dwarfs as human dwarfs (as in, people afflicted with dwarfism) rather than a mythical race, it kind of turns into a conflict between a queen who is vain, wicked, obsessed with traditional beauty and ultimately gorgeous and a kind group of outsiders who would have been considered funny looking at best and ugly at worst during those less enlightened times.Adam Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129844426168129584noreply@blogger.com
