I will never forget the small blue creatures called Smurfs, the illustrated comic strips by the Belgian cartoonist Peyo. It later became children’s television series by Hanna-Barbera Productions, titled The Smurfs. They are among the characters I love to draw when I was in elementary school.

Did you know that once, people gathered in Smurfs costumes to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people in Smurf costumes!

2532 people in Smurfs costumes gathered and these are city residents. With the help of students from the local universities, they crammed into the Oceana nightclub and almost doubled the previous record.
