Smurfs are most probably bald, as discussed in this thread on a good old fashioned forum: https://bluebuddies.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/1/1485.... And my unopular opinion is that Smurfette is most probably wearing a wig.

Smurfette isn't an actual Smurf, she's a construct made by Gargamel (yes, this is actual Smurf canon), so presumably her hair is also some sort of construct.

Idk about all that, but the Smurfs are probably commies right? https://www.theguardian.com/books/2011/jun/06/smurfs-accused...

The conspiracy theories I have heard: - Gargamel is a priest, the smurfs are prosecuted by the church - Papa smurf wears red and has a beard because of ideological reasons, the smurfs political and economic system resembles communism - Smurfs represent the seven deadly sins/seven capital vices Lust: Enamored smurf Gluttony: Baker smurf Avarice: Greedy smurf Sloth: Lazy smurf Wrath: Grouchy smurf Envy: Brainy smurf Pr…

Which makes sense as you want your house to be as inedible as possible. I assume they have some method of keeping snails, woodpeckers and other animals resistant to the poison at bay.

Amanita muscaria is not inedible, it just needs to be processed correctly.

Which is why I carry around a pocketful of snails.

Why is that website?

Because that's where I found that discussion. Is there a problem with that website?

But the article does cover that. German gnomes (Kobolde, especially Hödekin) are usually depicted with pointy hats, or at least ones that curl backwards. The smurf hats are clearly wearing Phrygian caps.

the first smurf drawings had pointy hats, the curve is most likely a stylistic evolution. https://www.lm-magazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/schtr...

That’s still arguably a classic Phrygian cap design. Whatever or not that was the intention/inspiration, it does resemble them - the hats you just showed are not perfectly conical, there’s a flip at the top.

The smurf's being asked to remove his hat since wearing it in a restaurant is considered impolite. When being pressed the smurf says 'I don't ask you to remove your pants'. When it's revealed the smurfs genitals are under his hat Dirkjan's mate says 'maybe we should let hem keep his hat on'.

Oh no I meant the Pranfeuri one. Edit: Typing that out me realise that I could just search for that word. Apparently it's just absurdist: https://www.reddit.com/r/learndutch/comments/17nvt4g/pranfeu...

So it's a plumbus!
