Sloppy Smurf (Empath stories)

Sloppy is a Smurf character who is part of the Empath: The Luckiest Smurf story series. Similar to his cartoon show universe counterpart, he is a garbage collector, but here he collects garbage and manure from the outhouses, which he brings to Farmer so he can turn the pile into a compost heap to fertilize his fields.

When he is not collecting garbage, Sloppy plays the guitar with his favorite instrument being the caterwauling guitar (the Smurfs' equivalent of a modern-day electric guitar), which he constantly practices. He is the lead guitarist and possibly lead vocalist for the musical band Azrael Rocks, and has also worked on Smurfette's Ray Of Sunshine album.
