22nd September 2022: Smurfs, Germany

Smurfs are small, blue, human-like creatures who live in mushroom-shaped houses in the forest. They were created by Peyo in 1958 and first appeared in the Belgian comic Johan and Peewit published in the Spirou magazine. Already in 1959 the first independent Smurf story was published. Until today more than 100 Smurf characters were created, which appeared in the 31 Smurf comics, video games, movies and TV series. Mainly due to the TV series from the 1980s, which was still shown here in Germany in the early 2000s, Smurfs were among the biggest heroes of my childhood. Together with Pumuckl they chosen for the 2022issue in the German stamp series Heroes of the Childhood. I bought some matching cards online and got two of them cancelled with the matching stamp and special postmark. The rest I kept blank.
