Dr. Manhattan and the Smurfs



Media covered it all about Dr. Manhattan's self-imposed exile on Mars. We saw the pictures, we read the official biography, we flipped through the graphic novel, we even saw the movie. But were any of those versions based on the truth? We just have to say it out loud. It was all a big sham.

One of our correspondents on Mars (don't ask), was covering the unveiling of the Martian Manhunter's Memorial, when he noticed this all-blue all-naked guy wandering around these desolated red lands without any apparent purpose. It didn't take much for our journalist to notice a couple of hideous blueish creatures, with such annoying voices, walking right behind Dr. Manhattan arguing over and over and over. We couldn't get a word of what the little monsters were saying, we can just assume it was Dutch, but it was evident they were having a big argument. All of sudden, they rolled on the floor hitting each other real hard. Hairs were pulled, faces were scratched, butts were kicked, and it all stopped when Dr. Manhattan just said "Enough!" This journalist's heart almost stopped when he heard that strong and commanding voice. One of the creatures dropped some sort of mirror he was carrying and it broke into thousands of pieces. The creature seemed beyond upset and we can just assume it was because of the seven years of bad luck deal. And so, Dr. Manhattan stared down at them with such a deep sorrow and said, "I won't be your sex toy any longer", and in a burst of light, he was gone, leaving behind the ashes of those really annoying creatures.

That's how Dr. Manhattan got back to Earth, we swear.

Anwar: No se si serían parientes, pero ciertamente los Pitufos trataron de abusar del Dr. Manhattan.

Menshevik, well, the Smurfs were actually created by a Belgian, or so I believe:)

Yup, they were created by a Belgian, but "Belgian" is not a language - in Belgium they speak Dutch (the Belgian form of Dutch also known as Flemish), French and German. The French spoken by Belgian Francophones (Walloons) and inhabitants of the adjoining region of France speak a dialect that is distinctive enough to French-speakers, but it is not really noticeable to others, rather like the Swiss and Canadian (Québecois) forms. The Smurfs (les Schtroumpf) were originally published in French, but their English name is derived from the Dutch/Flemish translation, "de Smurfen".
