Die Schlümpfe #24

A panicked tomato, a startled yellow pepper, and a trio of very alarmed Smurfs are fleeing for their lives — with a wooden barrel tumbling close behind and the shadow of a large hat looming ominously overhead. "Schlumpfsalat" ("Smurf Salad") promises a wonderfully silly vegetable-themed adventure from the team of Thierry Culliford, Luc Parthoens, Ludo Borecki, Jeroen De Coninck, and Nine Culliford. This 2011 German-language Splitter Verlag volume is a charming entry in the beloved Die Schlümpfe series, bright and full of the playful energy that makes these little blue characters so enduring.
