Sorry to disappoint you, but "three apples tall" was meant as an idiom because that is actually a French idiom, similar to how Americans use "knee-high to a grasshopper." And no, I DO NOT TREAT the Smurfs in my series like they are cartoons. I actually treat them like actual living physical beings, that they have actual skin, that they sweat and stink and have carnal desires much like humans, and that they have a standard maximum average adult height of about 3 inches, and that's what I'm sticking to. That's what I originally intended for the characters since I started even writing the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf novel in 1986.
