>>>Peyo would never have created a story about Smurfs in the modern times. He had more inspiration than Hollywood has nowadays.
"Gargamel in modern times"
"Sophie was another popular Belgian comic series about a fun-loving little girl who was created by her father made with sugar, spice and everything nice, written and drawn by Vicq and Jidéhem. In a crossover story drawn in 1975, it is shown that the Smurfs have survived to the 20th century since Sophie and her friend Little Bernard find them in a nearby wood — the Smurfs being on a winter holiday. Gargamel appears, though he is renamed Edgar Gamel, who is said to be a bit of a sorcerer and who claims to have studied occult sciences. He too wants revenge on the Smurfs, implying that he is the original Gargamel who has also lived as far as the 20th century, or else a future incarnation or counterpart of him."
okay, maybe Peyo didn't write that particular story. I don't know if he did or not. He might have or might not have.
However, he was still alive at the time.
So I'm assuming that he must have (or probably) gave his approval for that story or something.
