@ Lone Wolf:
Smurfs are magical creatures. They reproduce magically. And for those who didn’t know, magic is a form of energy which can be manipulated as we do with electricity. The method of the manipulation is almost as elusive as the manipulation of gravity but when the right conditions are present, you get brand new shiny smurfs. :)
[…] I am aware that smurf reproduction is an open research topic, but for the purposes of this discussion, I will assume that they reproduce asexually, probably […]
]]>smurf children are actually delivered by storks…according to the comics
]]>How dumb are you guys the smurfs are obviously created by mother nature who is a charcter in the comic books and the tv show da
]]>Actually I have an exact idea. If you pay attention to the shows after Smurfette was introduce, Papa smurf often smiles directly at her and sometimes she smiles back. So in other words, they has several “happy time”. Together.
]]>@ Leilani:
Exactly. :)
]]>So in other words, scientifically speaking noone honestly (F**KING) knows.
End of story.
there are actually three female smurfs:
smurfette: created by gargamel to lure smurfs into his lab, was originally brunette, papa smurfs changes her and her hair to blonde.
sassette smurfling: is created by the smurflings and is like a sister to the all.
nany smurf: nany of the smurflings
I’ve been a Hive Theory supporter for some time. While the creation of Smurfette by Gargamel shows her to be an artificial creation it is not explicitly stated that her gender acted as a disqualifier for Smurfhood and the mere fact that the Smurs are able to differentiate her by gender through their attempts at courtship seem to indicate that they have some base instinct towards sexual reproduction.
That said it’s possible that the absence of female smurfs indicates not that they don’t exist but rather that the egg laying or birthing process leads to the death of that generations female. After the re-introduction of the female smurf the smurfs even went so far as to replicate Gargamel’s evil magic to create Sassette. This seems to indicate that smurfs may have a kind of expansionary instinct indicative to hive type species to branch off into more hives once their own reaches maximum capacity.
]]>Hm, you people seem to not read the comics well. Hereby, few explanations:
1. All smurfs except Smurfette are bald. It is shown clearly in the comics and they doesn’t seem to be afraid to take off their hats (but they indeed do it rarely).
2. I believe they have sexual organs in the same place as humans, since in one comic, when one of the smurfs looses his pants, he says that “he’s going to walk around with a naked SMURF” :)
3. The formula to create Smurfette is in the comics. AFAIR, it’s complicated alchemy.
Anyway, the most probable theory IMO, is that of Heatherly – that they live(d) in single sex tribes. Or, there was once a whole bunch of smurfs, male and female breeding like us, but now they are slowly become extinct – and the Papa’s village is the last, or one of the last settlements. The lack of female members could be just a coincidence, or maybe female smurfs were wiped out by alchemists (maybe they are better source of magic or something). AFAIR, Nanny Smurf, one of three known females, is a real, biological female. And again, maybe the last one. And the baby smurf? Hmm… maybe there is another small tribe somewhere, or even an alone couple that breeded the baby smurf and sent it to the village since it’s the safest place for him.
