Gomer Smurf (Empath stories)

Gomer is a Smurf character who is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. He is the father of Clumsy and Dimwitty, who have both inherited his behavior patterns. He was considered the clumsiest and least intelligent Smurf of Papa Smurf's generation of Smurfs.

About 50 years later, he along with his wife succumbed to the same unknown disease that claimed the lives of all their fellow Smurfs except for Papa Smurf. Clumsy and Dimwitty were then left in the care of Papa Smurf along with 96 other young Smurfs their age.

Years later, during the events of the story "Days Of Auld Lang Smurf", Gomer supposedly came back from the dead to meet his grown-up sons. However, Smurfette, Polaris Psyche, and the Smurflings discover and reveal the truth that the "resurrected" Gomer was just an illusion created by the Auld Lang Syne Spell that the evil witch, Chlorhydris, had cast upon the Smurfs.
