Abstract:
"When Papa Smurf lodges a complaint about a recent poor harvest which led to a food shortage in Smurf village, Homnibus gives the Smurfs a sack of purple beans he claims can be used as food. Hoping this will solve their problems for the coming winter, Papa Smurf, Farmer Smurf and Chef Smurf work together in secrecy to introduce a delicious new meal to the village using the beans. The only problem is the purple beans become so popular, many Smurfs can't stop eating them and become overweight. However, a small group of Smurfs, led by Smurfette, resist the purple beans and try to convince the Smurfs to quit eating them and embrace a healthier lifestyle"-- Provided by publisher.
General Note:
"The Smurfs were born in 1958 in Belgium. Benny Breakiron was created in 1960. These stories respect the artwork and writing as originally created per the wishes of the authors and their publisher. However, they may contain outdated cultural depictions and gun violence. Rather than remove this content, we want to acknowledge its harmful impact, learn from it, and spark conversation to create a more inclusive future together."--T.p. verso.
