The Egg and the Smurfs
The Egg and the Smurfs is the fourth album of the original French-language Smurfs comic series created by Belgian artist Peyo.
The annual event known as Smurf Day is due and Papa Smurf suggests that they make a big cake to celebrate. With great excitement, the Smurfs gather the ingredients only to find that they lack an egg. Papa Smurf therefore sends Grouchy Smurf and another Smurf to get one. After going to a lot of trouble to obtain an egg from a nearby farm, the two Smurfs face an equal struggle getting it home, only for Papa Smurf to show that the egg is a fake made of wood.
Setting off to get another egg, the two Smurfs then find one in the middle of the forest. They take it back to the village where the others try in vain to break it. It's even resistant to an axe and a frustrated Smurf expresses the wish to be turned into a hot-dog if he cannot break it. When he does strike the egg he is actually turned into a hot-dog and the others realise that it is a magical egg that grants them wishes when touched.
Every Smurf uses the egg to make their wishes come true: to be red or yellow-skinned, to become a giant, to have an elephant, money, cakes etc. When two Smurfs argue over who should use it first, they wish all sorts of nasty things upon the other: one Smurf wishes the other to have a big nose, a long tail and be covered in hair; while the other wishes him to have big ears, huge teeth, a long beard and be green-skinned.
As a joke by one of his Smurfs, Papa Smurf has himself been turned into a young and ordinary Smurf while three others have adopted his appearance and claim to be the genuine article. To restore order from the chaos, Papa Smurf goes to the egg and wishes that everything be the way it used to be. Everyone is turned back to normal and, before they can renew their wishes, the egg cracks open revealing a baby chick.
A Smurf reasons that the chick will become a hen and lay magic eggs. He thus sets to work building an enclosure for the chick to live in, feed and water it and keep the place tidy. After all his hard work however the Smurf is shattered when the chick grows up to become a non-egg laying rooster.

The Smurfette
The Smurfette is the third album of the original French-language Smurfs comic series. The story has also been made into an episode of the Smurfs animated cartoon show, where the only known significant difference is that Smurfette stays in the village for the rest of the show's run.
Gargamel wants to take revenge against the Smurfs for his humiliating defeat at their hands. He decides that the most horrible plan to destroy them would be to send them a female Smurf, who shall seduce them and lead them to their doom. He thus fashions her out of clay and dips her in a potion, creating Smurfette.
Smurfette is sent to the Smurf village, and the others befriend her, despite that she later proves to be annoying albeit good-meaning. She is very talkative, a bit bossy, overly friendly, and hysterical. At first, Smurfette looks like a male Smurf with scraggly black hair, a large nose, and rather surly eyes, the only thing separating her from the rest being her white dress; not exactly the attractive temptress that Gargamel tried to create.
Some of the Smurfs become sick of her, so they decide to play a trick: they make her think she has become overweight (by rigging a scale, setting in a misshaping mirror, making her listen to some nasty talk...). Becoming depressed, she realizes that she is not pretty and Papa Smurf decides to help her: he operates plastic smurfery on her for days and nights, and Smurfette comes out with blonde hair, more delicate features, longer eyelashes, walking and acting much more gracefully.
The Smurfs all fall in love with her and the soon after, they all try to seduce her through different means. The competition and jealousy eventually bring chaos and violence among the Smurfs, who are ready for anything to please her, even painting the dam of the river pink.
The last straw is when Smurfette forces Poet Smurf to open the dam for her, just so she could see the water spurting. The dam gets stuck open and the village is flooded. Even after the dam is sealed back up, the village is in a disastrous state. When Papa Smurf discovers that Smurfette is indirectly responsible, he tells her that she has only brought trouble. Furious, Smurfette tells them all that she shall then go back to Gargamel. After hearing this, Papa Smurf orders her arrested and places her on trial.
The trial proves to be quite biased, most of the Smurfs supporting Smurfette's innocence. Jokey Smurf (who is Smurfette's attorney) reminds them that she has been able to seduce the Smurfs because of Papa Smurf, who made her attractive. Smurfette is eventually declared not guilty.
Smurfette can't stand the Smurfs fighting each other for her anymore, so leaves the village indefinitely, leaving a message saying that she will be back one day (which she eventually does).
Although they are saddened by the event, Papa Smurf cheers them up by telling that they should get revenge on Gargamel and give him a taste of his own medicine: they create a fat ugly human woman out of clay (as Gargamel did with Smurfette) and send her to his house, where she desperately asks him for shelter, speaking in Smurf talk. The story ends with Gargamel running away from her, grumbling that he shall take vengeance.

Doctor Smurf
Doctor Smurf is the eighteenth Smurfs comic book.
When Handy Smurf and Clumsy Smurf are installing a fence for Farmer Smurf, Handy Smurf mistakenly hits Clumsy Smurf with his hammer, so Papa Smurf is called to attend Clumsy Smurf's injury. The three Smurfs are grateful that Papa Smurf is there when they need him.
One day, Sickly Smurf believes he's sick, so he goes to ask a medicine to Papa Smurf who, knowing that Sickly Smurf's sickness is psychosomatic, just tells him to drink some vegetable soup and rest, as a placebo. However, other Smurf who was just returning from fishing sees Sickly Smurf and asks him what happened, and when Sickly Smurf tells him, the Smurf recommends him some horehound tea instead, something he heard from either Farmer Smurf or Cook Smurf (he doesn't seem to remember very well).
The next day, Sickly Smurf comes with a new sickness and the Smurf recommends him blackberry roots. When Handy Smurf tries to dismiss the Smurf's recommendations and tells Sickly Smurf to follow Papa Smurf's advice instead, the Smurf ends convincing Handy Smurf that he's sick, too. The following day, Handy Smurf asks the Smurf for a remedy, so the Smurf gives him a recipe. After this, the Smurf notices that Papa Smurf doesn't have time to see all and every sick Smurf, so he becomes Doctor Smurf.
However, nobody attends Doctor Smurf's house until he decides to have Smurfette as his nurse. Drummer Smurf announces this and soon a huge line of Smurfs is formed in front of Doctor Smurf's house. The first patients are Greedy Smurf, Jokey Smurf and Enamored Smurf.
Papa Smurf finds Vanity Smurf with a prescription from Doctor Smurf. He tells Vanity Smurf to throw that prescription to the trashcan and rather drink honey tea, but the conversation doesn't go beyond that because Miner Smurf brings an ingredient Papa Smurf needed. Vanity Smurf asks Doctor Smurf's opinion about this, and Doctor Smurf dismisses Papa Smurf's style of medicine as outdated. He then goes to Handy Smurf's house and mistakenly gives him a sleeping potion instead of medicine.
Doctor Smurf gives medical licenses to all Smurfs, so they stop working at the dam., Brainy Smurf tells this to Papa Smurf, who scolds Doctor Smurf, but then Papa Smurf falls sick and Doctor Smurf gives him some medicine. During this, Doctor Smurf forgets he was attending Clumsy Smurf, who is left naked waiting for his examination.
Since Papa Smurf is sick, Doctor Smurf gets more work, for example bandaging Jokey Smurf who has accidentally hammered his own finger (and ends bandaging everything save for the finger), and recommends three or five potions to each Smurf (save for Grouchy Smurf who, as expected, hates Doctor Smurf and his potions, and hates those Smurfs who drink potions to get better even though they aren't sick).
Having more work to do, Doctor Smurf asks Handy Smurf to build him a hospital, where he attends several Smurfs at a time and frequently gives Papa Smurf his medicine. He also begins wearing a white coat. When a Smurf gets hurt, Doctor Smurf mobilizes an ambulance that ends causing more Smurfs to get hurt.
Things get worse when other two Smurfs try to find new styles of medicine; they go to Papa Smurf's laboratory to check his books, and one of them decides to try psychology while the other tries acupuncture. The acupuncturist tries his method on Vanity Smurf, who escapes but ends punctured anyways when he falls on Farmer Smurf's cactii. The psychologist tries to psychoanalyze Clumsy Smurf, but the one who ends feeling better is the psychologist himself.
Doctor Smurf calls both Smurfs to scold them for doing medicine, but they dismiss him and continue with their own methods. After this, several other Smurfs begin to try their own methods like hydrotherapy, physiotherapy, podiatry, etc., and some Smurfs even try all methods at once.
Meanwhile, at Doctor Smurf's hospital, Papa Smurf refuses the medicine claiming it doesn't have any effect and Doctor Smurf is no real doctor. Suddenly, Smurfette falls sick. Doctor Smurf tells she will get better with one of his potions, but then the other doctor Smurfs try to use their own methods until Papa Smurf sends Brainy Smurf and Hefty Smurf after Master Ludovic, a doctor friend of Homnibus who lives at the forest.
When the Smurfs give Ludovic a letter from Papa Smurf explaining the situation, he goes to help accompanied by his advisor, Gargamel. Hefty Smurf warns Master Ludovic that Gargamel is the Smurfs' enemy, but Gargamel convinces Ludovic that it's just a misunderstanding, so the Smurfs grudgingly guide both to the village.
When Ludovic finds Doctor Smurf gave Smurfette a potion of wormwood mixed with a decoration of four-leaf clovers, and the same to Papa Smurf, he scolds Doctor Smurf (and the other doctors too) for applying medicine as a sort of game. Then he makes a potion that restores Papa Smurf and Smurfette. After leaving the village, Ludovic and Gargamel say goodbye to each other, and then Gargamel tries to return to the Smurf Village, but ends at his own house.
At the village, a Smurf falls sick. Doctor Smurf (back in his normal Smurf attires) is about to recommend him a potion, but when Papa Smurf arrives, Doctor Smurf recognizes it's better to leave Papa Smurf to take matters in his hands.
