Pierre Culliford, a Belgian cartoonist, created The Smurfs
Dutch singer Pierre Kartman made a song that propelled them worldwide in the interest of the people.
Source wikipedia.Quote:
In May 1977, Kartner was asked to make a promotional song for an animated movie, which turned out to be about The Smurfs. The record company pressed 1,000 copies, since they were unsure about the success of the single. However, they were all sold within one day at a Schlager festival. After a repress, 400,000 singles were quickly sold. A full Smurfs album was then created, which also climbed the charts, with 500,000 copies sold. It was released in several dozen countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and Japan, all sung by Kartner. He scored a number one hit in 16 countries. His Smurf works have sold around 25 million copies.[2]

My old TS130 transceiver was very cheap and came from a heavy smoker in South Wales. He even delivered it so after a good clean up it's as good as new.
It just sort of followed me home. I swear. I think I'll keep it. Gonna make for a dandy ham shack during Field Day.
