 * ''See the article Peyo at Smurfs Wiki for the biography of the real-life version of the character.

Peyo (real name Pierre Culliford) was a Belgian cartoonist who was the creator of The Smurfs comic book characters that became part of popular culture during the late 20th century, eventually spawning a cartoon show and an animated movie. It is believed that he somehow learned the legend of the Smurfs from local folklore and eventually adapted the folklore into his own personal stories.
