About
The Smurfs is a Belgian comic franchise centred on a fictional colony of small, blue, human-like creatures who live in mushroom-shaped houses in the forest. The Smurfs were first created and introduced as a series of comic characters by the Belgian comics artist Peyo (the pen name of Pierre Culliford) in 1958, wherein they were known as Les Schtroumpfs. There are more than 100 Smurf characters, and their names are based on adjectives that emphasise their characteristics, such as "Jokey Smurf", who likes to play practical jokes on his fellow Smurfs. "Smurfette" was the first female Smurf to be introduced in the series. The Smurfs wear Phrygian caps, which came to represent freedom during the modern era. The word “smurf” is the original Dutch translation of the French "schtroumpf", which, according to Peyo, is a word he invented during a meal with fellow cartoonist André Franquin when he could not remember the word salt.

Off the top of your head, how many songs can you think of that have the word 'rain' in the title? Obviously 'Singin' in the Rain' by Gene Kelly should come to mind, even if none of us actually saw the movie. There's Madonna's 'Rain', Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's 'Rain on Me', and who could ever forget The Weather Girls and their smash hit 'It's Raining Men'.
Some people genuinely don't enjoy rainy days, but many of us love the opportunity to kick back, get cosy and watch more episodes of our current favourite than any doctor would recommend. That said, NONE of us enjoy rain being where it shouldn't be: inside.
With winter around the corner, now's the time to invest in our main deal of liquid rubber roof sealant from Rubberproof. After all, while 'Raindrops Keep Fallin' on my Head' is a cool song and all, no one wants that to happen in their lounge.
