* PragmaticAdaptation: In the original French version, Tailor and Sculptor both shared a nickname that led to a confusing situation when Papa Smurf called for Tailor and instead got Sculptor. Since the joke was untranslatable to English, Papercutz simply had both Smurfs referred to as "Smurf".

Return to [[Recap/TheSmurfs Recap: The Smurfs]].

A comic book adaptation of the cartoon show episode of the same name and also "Sassette".
!!Tropes associated with this story include:
* BigShutUp: Papa Smurf yells "ENOUGH!" when the Smurfs in the orchestra play too loudly when he was in the middle of a critical experiment.
* ChildHater: Grouchy comes off as one toward all four of the Smurflings, though Snappy pre-emptively saying "I hate grownups" before Grouchy had a chance to say anything doesn't really help the situation.
* EverythingIsAnInstrument: The Smurflings upstage Brainy Smurf's orchestral performance with music from instruments made of junk.
* {{Fainting}}: Vanity, when he sees Nat, Snappy, and Slouchy in their new clothes.
* FountainOfYouth: Nat, Snappy, and Slouchy are irrevocably transformed into Smurflings.
* GenreSavvy: Slouchy Smurf turns Jokey Smurf's prank against the jokester, then shrugs the prankster off by calling him and his old prank as something outdated.
* GettingTheBoot: Brainy, by the Smurflings.
* TheGhost: Father Time, whose workshop appears in the comic book universe but he himself does not appear in the story.
* NakedOnArrival: Sassette when she was first created, which leads to the following trope...
* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: Nat, Snappy, and Slouchy try to avert their eyes as they give Sassette a hat and pink overalls to wear.
* PragmaticAdaptation: In the original French version, Tailor and Sculptor both shared a nickname that led to a confusing situation when Papa Smurf called for Tailor and instead got Sculptor. Since the joke was untranslatable to English, Papercutz simply had both Smurfs referred to as "Smurf".
* ProducePelting: Brainy gets a tomato in the face when he complains about the Smurflings' music.
* WhyAmITicking: Sassette is made with the same formula that Gargamel used to create Smurfette, but with less clay. Gargamel purposely tampered with the formula by putting a spell on the blue clay by making it explode when it is exposed to the noonday sun. When Papa Smurf finds out about the blue clay tampering, he quickly creates a formula to counteract the effects and splash it on Sassette before she explodes. When Sassette goes out into the forest to find Gargamel, he quickly scrambles for safety to prevent himself from being taken out by her at the time when she would explode.
