User blog comment:Swallows/Why do you like the Smurfs ?/@comment-4165715-20111223083929

I actually was introduced to them at a very young age because I would watch them on TV, but never really knew what they were until I was in elementary school (and, by that time, already totally engulfed in Kids Next Door). Then on Memorial Day 2011, I was drawing and turned on the Boomerang channel since they were playing a marathon of awesome cartoons - I was really just using it for backgound noise, but eventually I looked up to see an episode I recognized from many years ago, and it happened to be the one where Johan and Peewit were on a boat with the Smurfs and Peewit got seasick until the waters became rough (very funny to me), and then I feel in love with Johan and decided to look them up. And that's how I ended up here, totally enthralled by that raven-haired hero...but I still love the Smurfs, too, just not quite as much as him and Peewit, and King Gerard. (I love the humans because they're overshadowed and awesome.)
