Recap / Empath: The Luckiest Smurf - Smurfed Behind: The Departure

Go To

A Remix Comic story based on the 1980s cartoon show episode "The Smurfs That Time Forgot". It is Empath's 155th birthday, and while Empath is away running errands for Homnibus, a few Smurfs bring back an unfrozen baby dinosaur named Crinkles. Crinkles, however, is unable to eat the vegetation of the current time period, so Papa and Grandpa Smurf get a magic key from Father Time that would allow them to travel through time. Unfortunately, the portal that it opens sucks up all the other Smurfs in the village, causing them to travel through time as well. By the time Empath returns to the village, only Polaris Psyche is left to tell him what happened. Realizing that his birthday celebration is ruined, Empath sets out from the village along with Polaris to find a way to bring the time-lost Smurfs home.


This story provides examples of:

  • Cool Key: The Key of Chronos, which opens portals into time.
  • Ironic Birthday: The Smurfs are lost in time on the day of Empath's birthday.
  • This Is No Time to Panic: When Wild Smurf arrives in the Smurf Village to warn Papa Smurf about Snappy coming into the village riding a dinosaur, Papa Smurf tells Wild to stay in the village and try to keep the other Smurfs calm since "the last thing we need when it comes to smurfing this is a village-wide panic". A few panels later when Snappy arrives on Crinkles the baby dinosaur, the village automatically goes into panic mode!
