Letter S of Sunday Stamps gives me the chance to show the stamps of my favourite comic characters: Smurfs!
Belgium has featured Smurfs on stamps often. I recently got these, issued on 29 January 2018, for the 60th anniversary of the blue little fellows.
And I had got, years ago, one of the 7 stamps issued in 2008 for their 50th anniversary.
And also from the UN:
Very nice. I did not know the Smurfs were so old!
ReplyDeleteSo old? Most smurfs are about 100 years old. The Papa Surf, however, is more than 500! :D
DeleteI don't really know much about the Smurfs - not sure they are a big thing here. So am a little surprised that they are 60 years old!
ReplyDeleteAs I told to Phillip, a 60-years-old Smurf would be a baby!
DeleteThe Belgians have a gift for cartoons. I remember Father Abraham and the Smurfs having a run of top ten music hits here many years ago.
ReplyDeleteI was (err, I am) a big fan of the Smurfs, but in the book form. I never liked the cartoons on tv. As a child, I knew the Spanish version of the songs, of course :)
