Very Smurfy Non-canon warning : This article or section contains non-canonical information that is not considered to be an official part of The Smurfs #2: The Smurfs and the Magic Flute the Smurfs Franco-Belgian comic book series or the Smurfs cartoon show series and should not be considered part of the overall storyline of either. The magic flute that appeared in the original comic book story of " The Smurfs And The Magic Flute " and the The Smurfs #2: The Smurfs and the Magic Flute film version was a musical instrument that had six holes in it. It made whoever listened to the person playing a tune from it dance uncontrollably; however, if the flute is played for too long, the person doing the dancing will eventually tire out until he or she just drops from exhaustion. The magic flute came from the Smurfswho in the comic book story "The Flute Smurfers" made it for a sorcerer named Alderic to cure somebody afflicted with a condition The Smurfs #2: The Smurfs and the Magic Flute as "Monotone Melancholy". The flute was believed to be lost as the sorcerer's house was burned down by an angry mob, but it eventually fell into the hands of a merchant selling various and strange musical instruments, who arrived in the kingdom that Sir Johan and Peewit had served The King in. Although The King couldn't permit the merchant to sell any of his wares basically to keep Peewit from acquiring any instrument due to his rather off-key playing and eventually sent him off, the merchant accidentally left behind the The Smurfs #2: The Smurfs and the Magic Flute flute, which The King and Sir Johan kept out of Peewit's sight when they found it before Peewit did. The King attempted to burn the flute in the fireplace, but it ended up producing deadly green smoke that filled his bedchamber that required many hands to put out the fire. Peewit ended up finding the flute The King tried to destroy, and, after cleaning it out, tried playing it to a passerby. While he was somehow able to play a beautiful tune from the flute, it also caused the passerby to uncontrollably dance. Peewit at first thought it was a joke, but when he tried the flute on another passerby, she also danced uncontrollably. Soon he was playing the flute all throughout the castle, and anyone who was in earshot of its tune began to dance uncontrollably -- even The King and Sir Johan, when Peewit tried it out on them. However, when Peewit again played it before a group of soldiers that he had used it on before, the soldiers eventually passed out from the extended playing. Sir Johan began to realize that the flute could be rather dangerous and tried to get it out of Peewit's hands, but he refused to give it up. Meanwhile, the magic flute is being sought after by two groups of people -- the Smurfs who created it, and a passing thief named Matthew McCreepwho overheard what the flute could do from the passing merchant who lost it. While the Smurfs were unable to get their hands on it, Matthew McCreep had tricked Peewit into letting him play a tune from the magic flute during his visit with the young would-be minstrel, leaving Peewit unconscious and tied up while he fled and used the magic flute to rob the townsfolk. Peewit and Sir Johan then went after Matthew McCreep, searching after him until they came across him with his cart full of stolen property. Matthew used the flute on them, rendering them unconscious while he escaped. Realizing that the flute was indeed magic, Sir Johan and Peewit sought after their friend Homnibus to see if there was any way to remove its power. Homnibus said the only ones who knew about the flute were the Smurfs, and there was no known way to find their village except through a technique called "hypno-kinesis", which would enable people to travel without actually leaving where they were. Sir Johan and Peewit allowed Homnibus to put them to sleep and to use "hypno-kinesis" to transport them as close to the Smurf Village as he could. Soon, waking up in the Smurf forest, they encountered a single Smurf who led them straight to their village where they met its leader Papa Smurf. While Papa Smurf told them there was no way they could remove the magic from the flute, he did offer them the solution of making another flute -- a task that required cutting down a giant oak tree to get to the heart of the tree for the wood needed to make another flute. While this took two days, with Sir Johan and Peewit patiently waiting, the Smurfs succeeded in getting the second flute completed. Papa Smurf was about to give them the second flute when Homnibus pulled them back too soon and was unable to send them back to the village. Fortunately, the Smurfs found Homnibus' hovel and delivered The Smurfs #2: The Smurfs and the Magic Flute second flute straight to Sir Johan and Peewit. However, by this time, Matthew McCreep had gone over to the island off the port of Terminac in order to raise up an The Smurfs #2: The Smurfs and the Magic Flute for his friend Earl Flatbroke to start a war against The King. Sir Johan tricked Earl Flatbroke into going over to that island by writing a letter that supposedly came from Matthew McCreep's hand, following him on board a ship with he and Peewit disguised as sailors and some of the Smurfs secretly stowing away. Peewit and Matthew broke out with their flutes and played tunes toward each other, hoping that either of them would get exhausted, which caused whoever listened to their tunes to dance uncontrollably. Eventually, the both of them deadlocked in a musical duel, and also getting exhausted, Peewit and Matthew stopped playing in order to catch their breaths, which gave Peewit the opportunity to knock Matthew unconscious with a short burst from his flute. With both flutes now in his possession, as well as Matthew McCreep and Earl Flatbroke bound and ready to be turned over to the law, Peewit was thinking of keeping both flutes when Sir Johan told him that they should both be returned to the Smurfs so that they won't cause anymore trouble. This inspires Peewit to carve out a fake flute which he intends to hand over to the Smurfs as one of the real flutes. Upon returning to the kingdom, Sir Johan and Peewit handed over the two flutes to The Smurfs #2: The Smurfs and the Magic Flute Smurfs, who then took them back to their village. But then, behind everyone's back, Peewit began to play a flute which he thought was a real flute The magic flute makes three other appearances: in the Johan and Peewit story " The War of the Seven Springs ", as Peewit found it in the possession of Rachel the witch, in the comic book story " The Flute Smurfers ", and " The Smurf Flute ", which was an episode from the Smurfs television show.

As work commences, Lazy decides that he will take a little nap until he comes face-to-face with Papa Smurf, who tells him to get back to work now like everyone else. Hefty from the gully of the river below the bridge asks Papa Smurf to hand him a shovel, which he does until he finds out it's been covered in goo.

Sisällönanalyyttinen ja kuvatutkimuksellinen tulkinta fiktiivisen ohjelman sisältämistä poliittisista representaatioista Pro gradu -tutkielma, 115 s., 4 liites. Valtio-oppi Maaliskuu 2012 ___________________________________________________________ Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastelen yhdysvaltalaisen South Park -tv-sarjan tapaa esittää poliittisia aiheita ja politiikan toimijoita. Tulkitsen kahdeksaa sarjan jaksoa sisällönanalyyttisin ja kuvatutkimuksellisin keinoin. Muodostan yksittäisissä jaksoissa esitetyistä kuvista ja tekstisisällöstä induktiivisen päätelmän, johon kokoan yhtenäisen näkemyksen sarjan tavasta esittää ja kehystää politiikkoja, poliittista toimintaa sekä asiakysymyksiä jaksoissa. Tutkimuksen pääaineiston jaksoissa esiintyy useita erilaisia aiheita ja teemoja, joita on mahdoton asettaa yhden kokoavan temaattisen tulkinnan alle. Työni kannalta on johdonmukaisempaa analysoida ja tulkita kulloinkin käsiteltävänä olevan jakson sisällössä esitettävää kokonaisnäkemystä etenkin liberaali–konservatiiviasettelun ja toisaalta puoluepoliittisen demokraatti–republikaani-dikotomian kautta. Analyysistäni selvisi, että South Park kritisoi niin demokraatteja kuin republikaanejakin.

  • Peyo Communiqué EN
    Fondation Folon From 25th of March till 27th of August 2017 WORLD PREMIERE “The panels in a comic strip are like a little theatre where I have the chance to animate my characters” (Peyo) Quiz question: which are the most famous of all Franco-Belgian comic strip characters throughout the world? Tintin? Asterix? No, the Smurfs! Originally known as the Schtroumpfs and called the Puffi in Italy, the Kumafu in Japan and other names in different places, the Smurfs are internationally renowned thanks to the animated television series from the Hanna-Barbera studios in the eighties, and, more recently, with the feature films produced by Sony. Inevitably, this fame has rather overshadowed the Smurfs’ creator, Pierre Culliford, known as Peyo. Born in Brussels in 1928, in the fifties this son of a British exchange broker became a mainstay of the Journal de SPIROU and created his unforgettable medieval series “Johan and Peewit” in which the Smurfs were born in 1958. The success of the little blue sprites was immediate and the Smurfs soon eclipsed Johan and Peyo’s other creations, “Benny Breakiron”, the little boy with Herculean strength, and « Pussycat". Fondation Folon Overwhelmed with work, Peyo took on assistants and established a studio which continues to perpetuate his work today, almost 25 years after his death in 1992. Yvan Delporte, chief editor from the golden age of SPIROU, said of Peyo: “Of all the comic strip authors I’ve met, Peyo was without question the best storyteller”. Pierre Culliford had two models: Hergé and Walt Disney. From the former he learned the purity of design and narrative effectiveness.

Once upon a time, long ago, in a wooded forest, lived happy little creatures called Smurfs. They were good, living in harmony with nature and lending a helping hand to all creatures great and small. But there also lived an evil wizard named Gargamel. He was BAAAAAAD!!! Why he hated the Smurfs so much, not even his Mummy knew. But he was committed to getting them if it was the last thing he ever did. Now the forest is still there. And if you listen very carefully, you might still hear Gargamel yelling in anger. And, if you're good, you just might catch a glimpse of US... The Smurfs! Introduction This e-book is a collection of original comic strips, drawings and animation-style expression sheets of the Smurfs, those little blue characters created by the late Belgian cartoonist Pierre Culliford, better known by his pen name Peyo. In recent years they've had a revival in pop culture thanks to the motion pictures The Smurfs and The Smurfs 2 from Sony Pictures Studios.

  • ROGNTUDJÛ!!! – Franquins Schusseliger Bürobote in Deutschland
    ROGNTUDJÛ!!! – Franquins schusseliger Bürobote in Deutschland 1957 schlug die Geburtsstunde des wohl bekanntesten Büroboten aller Zeiten – auf den Seiten von Spirou Nr. 985, erschienen am 28. Februar, um genau zu sein. Dabei gingen sein Erfinder und die Redakteure allerdings sehr geschickt vor und führten die neue Serie nicht einfach nur ein, sondern Gaston Lagaffe (gaffe lässt sich mit „Ausrutscher“ oder „Patzer“ übersetzen) übernahm Stück für Stück Teile des Magazins, was sich über die kommenden Wochen hinziehen sollte. Erst als kleine Cartoons, bei denen teilweise das Layout des Magazins kräftig durcheinandergewirbelt wurde, dann als halbseitige Gags und schlussendlich bekam die schräge Figur eine ganze Seite gewidmet. Eigentlich wurde Gastons für allerhand Bürotätigkeiten im traditionsreichen Verlagshaus Dupuis eingestellt. Mit seinem Hang zur Gemütlichkeit drückt er sich dann aber doch vor jedweder körperlichen Tätigkeit. Viel lieber widmet er sich da seinen Erfindungen, die obwohl gutgemeint und für den Arbeitsalltag optimierend gedacht, nicht selten die Redaktion in Schutt und Asche legen oder die Kollegen in den Wahnsinn treiben. Erschaffen wurde die Figur von Yvan Delporte und André Franquin, der bei den Zeichnungen von Jidéhem (d.i. Jean de Mesmaeker) unterstützt wurde. Der Erfolg von Gaston und Franquins immer grösser werdender Unwille, sich mit Spirou et Fantasio zu beschäftigen, führte dazu, daß er 1968 den Zeichenstift für letztgenannte Reihe an seinen Nachfolger Jean-Claude Fournier übergab, um sich nur noch um seine eigene Schöpfung zu kümmern. Neue Folgen erschienen bis in die 80er Jahre hinein, bevor Franquin sich mehr oder weniger zur Ruhe setzte. Die Serie charakterisiert sich über ihren bisweilen anarchischen Humor und erreichte ihre Popularität nicht zuletzt durch zwei runnings gags.
