3 stars.

Ohh the Smurfs! Love them. Full stop. I grew up with watching the Smurfs on tv and reading the books. I really enjoyed this cartoon so to read a Graphic Novel about them was great! My only issue is that I really didn't like how they all saw Smurfette in a romantic way. This is not the Smurfs I knew and loved. Smurfette was always just a friend to them all. She was apart of the group as an equal. She didn't live away from them, she was their friend only. So to see her this way in some of the short stories in this Graphic Novel wasnt a positive. I simply didn't like it. I get that others may have grown up with it being this way but I didnt. Otherwise. I absolutely loved the rest of this! If you are a Smurf fan, definitely check this out.

Great addition to the Smurfs collection for anyone who loves the Smurfs! I enjoyed all the mini stories in this book. The only thing I didn’t like was how everyone seemed to be head over heels for Smurfette. I look forward to reading more books on the Smurfs!

Musim semi telah tiba dan para smurf menjadi genit dan hanya ada satu nama di benak mereka semua: smurfette alias smurfin. Lukisan, patung, kue, semuanya berbentuk smurfin. Lalu, smurfin benar-benar datang ke desa mereka lagi dan memutuskan untuk menikah dengan salah satu smurf. Bahkan Papa Smurf pun kali ini mengajukan dirinya.

Short stories with Smurfette in them. Whenever there is Smurfette, there is trouble in the Smurf Village, so I don’t like it much, it’s kinda link up female as mess maker.

'The Return of Smurfette' from Papercutz is a series of fun short stories about Smurfette and how the other smurfs try to get her attention and her heart.

Smurfette doesn't live around the other Smurfs, but she does come around to visit. When she does, the other Smurfs always make a big deal of it. In the three main stories in this book along with the shorts, Smurfette plays a part, either in character or in motive. Gargamel shows up to try to capture Smurfs in his specially designed garden full of traps. The Smurfs celebrate Halloween. And Papa Smurf celebrates a birthday.

The stories are cute, and there are some stories by Peyo included in this collection. I'm not the biggest Smurf fan around, but this would be a fun read for younger readers.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Papercutz and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

The Return of Smurfette by Peyo is a cute collecting of stories revolving around Smurfette visiting the Smurf Village. For some reason, here she lives away from the village instead of in it. I love the Smurfs. They are an integral part of my childhood. But Smurfette lived in the village with the other Smurfs. These stories had the male Smurfs much more attracted to Smurfette than in the TV series. Yea, they sometimes low-key flirted in the show. Nothing like this though, which was a turn off for me. Messin’ with my childhood here! I imagine younger readers unfamiliar with the original show would enjoy this more than I.

***Many thanks to Netgalley & Papercutz for providing an ecopy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Utterly hilarious. So good. Belgians write and draw the best comics in the world.

Smurf enough if you want to smurf this smurf, but me, I don't like smurfing as much as I thought I did when I was still a little smurf.
