《藍精靈》是1958年10月23日由比利時漫畫家沛優 (Peyo，Pierre Culliford的筆名)創作的壹部漫畫，描寫壹羣生活在大森林中的藍色精靈的故事。
The storylines tend to be simple tales of bold adventure. The cast has a simple structure as well: almost all the characters look essentially alike — mostly male
very short (3 apples high)，with blue skin
white trousers with a hole for their short tails
white hat in the style of a Phrygian cap
and sometimes some additional accessory that identifies a personality.
故事的主線是驚險冒險中的簡單故事，人物的構成也較為簡單：幾乎所有的角色看起來都是以男性居多的、非常矮小的(三個蘋果壘起來的高度)、藍色皮 膚穿著白色褲子(有壹個露出小尾巴的洞)、戴著白色佛裏幾亞式的帽子，有時也會有壹些附屬物來區分不同的人物性格。
The Smurfs fulfill simple archetypes of everyday people: Lazy Smurf
Grouchy Smurf
Brainy Smurf
and so on. All Smurfs
with the exception of Papa
Baby
Smurfette and Grandpa
are said to be 100 years old. There were originally 99 Smurfs
but this number increased as new Smurf characters appeared
such as Sassette and Nanny. All of the original Smurfs were male; later female additions are Smurfette and Sassette.
