Smurfs and the MoCCA
I found myself commuting to meet with people that weren’t in the office due to the MLK holiday. Feeling a little unmotivated, I decided to take the opportunity to finally visit the MoCCA. Granted, it’s a small museum, but their exhibit on Saturday morning cartoon shows really took me back. Who knew the Smurfs were French? Who knew that in 1971 Frankenberry was taken off the shelves because it was turning kids feces bright pink?!
Umm, on the other hand, who needed to know that?

Your photo makes the exhibit look much more impressive than it actually is. This IS the smurf exhibit folks!

True. Well, I said the museum was small!

Correct you are, they first appeared in a Belgian comics magazine. Wikipedia says they’re Franco-Belgian, so I hope that means my post isn’t 100% wrong
