Whilst I was at the railway station bookshop the other day I noticed a new smurf comic for sale. It's very similar in design & content to the 'Schlumpf Mag' comics which were available a few years ago & it's quite possible that they have the same cartoons etc although I haven't checked that. The cover is of a cheaper paper than the nice glossy ones that 'Schlumpf Mag' had & I had trouble finding one that wasn't torn. It costs €2.99 & comes out every two months. I wonder how long this comic will last before they stop production....

The comic came with a 'fart cushion'

Here's the official link:-

That's great....I'll have to watch out for them when I am in Berlin in about five weeks

And you get a furzkissen, Maureen!

Shame they could not include a Schleichsmurf instead!

Tojo, how many schlumpfmag was sold with pvcsmurfs? 3?

[Smurfysmurf]

I already have that one, Andre

By the time I am there I hope they put the really cool toys in the mag..like the little water pistol.... . A smurfy pistol should help bring the current hottest US issue to a new level

Thanks Tojo

Seems I have to save more bucks than I excepted.

I'm not home right now to check but I think it was 3. If I remember rightly there was the smurf with bouquet, chef with spoon & footballer.

I can check later though.

@Maureen - sorry to disappoint you about the water pistol. The next issue has another 'farty' toy - a tub of goo which makes an embarassing noise when you stick your finger in it

[André]

Don't tell us you already got that one also Maureen!??

[Smurfysmurf]

No, I don't think I have that one...hopefully they have some leftovers for when I am there
