The Smurf article is completely based on false information. The Smurfs were created by Pierre Culliford aka Peyo, and Wiki shows no relation between Ross and the Smurfs.
Seems he was some kind of producer rather than the actual creator. Wikipedia - The Smurfs
Never let the truth get in the way of a good headline eh? :)
The Smurfs were 50 in January.
The late cartoonist Pierre Culliford -- best known by his pen name, "Peyo" -- first introduced the tiny blue figures in a comic strip in October 1958. He called them Schtroumpf; they became known worldwide as the Smurfs. The Smurfs, forest dwellers who live in little white-capped mushroom homes, developed their own "Smurf" language in which nouns and verbs were interchanged. A Smurf is a Pitufo in Spanish, a Schlumpf in German, Nam Ching Ling to the Chinese, a Sumafa in Japan and Dardassim in Hebrew.
