Quite a few people find the Smurfs cute, cuddly creatures. I’ve always found them weird. However, I’ve never found them as weird as this Smurf depicted in this digital painting at The Huffington Post.
According to The Huffington Post, Nate Hallinan, the artist behind the painting, imagined the Smurfs as a “symbiotic relationship” between mushrooms and creatures:
“The Smurf is actually the result of a symbiotic relationship between two organisms,” he states on his website. “We believe that Smurfs put their ’embryos’ in the button of a developing mushroom. From a distance, Smurfs seem like they are wearing a hat and pants but as you can see this is a fallacy. The fungus provides camouflage and protective epidermal layers for the creature, while the creature provides nutrients and mobility for the spreading of spores.”
It’s a strange picture, to be sure, but it does provide a very different and interestig take on the Smurfs. Still, I wouldn’t want to see these small creatures in my backyard.
