A comic book story based on the Animated Adaptation episode "Smurf Van Winkle".

The Smurfs make Lazy Smurf believe that he has slept for 200 years.

Tropes associated with this episode include

  • Faked Rip Van Winkle
  • Fountain of Youth: Subverted. Lazy Smurf claims to have put a youth potion into the food, but it turns out to be Lazy Smurf's way to get back at the other Smurfs' trap.
  • Rapid Aging: Gargamel gets hit with the same potion the Smurfs made to reverse their supposed de-aging, turning him into an old man.
  • Time-Passage Beard: Seen on the Smurfs who pretended to have aged 200 years while Lazy Smurf remained beardless during his "long sleep", with the exception of the Smurf who pretended to be the grown-up version of Baby Smurf. Smurfette is most likely wearing a wig.
  • Who's Laughing Now?: After Lazy Smurf finds out that the Smurfs faked their old ages, he plays them a prank of his own by pretending to have added a youth potion to their food.
