In watching this year’s battery of Christmas cartoons, the Smurfs ones came up in the shuffle. There’s a point in one of them where Greedy Smurf confesses to having eaten a crucial ingredient for something that was to be shared among everyone. To that, I said, “who the hell puts a guy named Greedy in charge of the cooking anyway. He oughtta have an orange ring.” That got me to thinking, and since I spent way too much brainpower on it, here you go:
Smurfy Lantern Corps
Red: Grouchy Smurf
Orange: Greedy Smurf
Yellow: Brainy Smurf
Green: Hefty Smurf
Blue: Dreamy/Astro Smurf
Indigo: Wild Smurf
Violet: Smurfette (Go figure, comics gender bias extends even to this nonsense)
I have nothing further to say for myself. Go ahead. Have at it.
Note: For those who are not familiar with the Green Lantern mythos, each color represents the harnessing of an emotion, as follows:
Red: Rage
Orange: Avarice
Yellow: Fear
Green: Will
Blue: Hope
Indigo: Compassion
Violet: Love

Very nicely done.

I admit I don’t know much about the Lanterns. I watched that DC Green Lantern DVD Movie and that it was ok even if a bit bizarre even for DC origins.
This post, however, is aces. Literal audible laugh and whatsit.
