"She is pretty, blonde, she has all the characteristics of women... She seduces, she uses trickery rather than force to get results. She is incapable of telling a joke without blowing the punch line. She is a blabbermouth but only makes superficial comments. She is constantly creating enormous problems for the Smurfs but always manages to blame it on someone else."
One of the participants at the meeting asked: "Would she at least be able, when the Smurfs are in danger, to make a decision that can save them?" When I translated this to Peyo, he looked astounded. "Come on now, do they expect me to make her a (female) gym teacher?"
