50 Years of Smurfs
Exhibition at the Belgian Comic Strip Center
June 10 through November 16
Fifty years after their birth, the Smurfs remain among the most popular characters ever created by a Belgian comic strip author. Born out of Peyo's imagination, they made their debut in Spirou Journal in the autumn of 1958, in a Johan et Pirlouit story: "La flûte à six trous". (The flute with six wholes).
To honor this anniversary – which is celebrated the world over – the Belgian Comic Strip Centre will invite visitors to consider Peyo's work from a new and original angle: it is because of their individual weaknesses that the Smurfs discover their strength…
