PARIS (REUTERS).- Rare original drawings of the Smurfs, blue-skinned cartoon characters created by Belgian artist Peyo, are set to fetch up to 120,000 euros ($167,000) each on Saturday in the first auction of the late artist’s work. The highlight of a sale of 33 full-page Peyo comic strips at the Artcurial auction house on the Champs-Elysees in Paris will be a black-and-white sketch — “The Smurfs and the Magic Flute.” It is the first time Peyo’s family has sold original Smurf artwork, although some drawings given as gifts has been sold, and the sale is drawing interest from enthusiasts worldwide. “It was a stroke of genius on Peyo’s part to have made the Smurfs blue because everyone — whether they’re Chinese or European — can identify with them,” said Eric Leroy
