Thanks for the translation, Vic.
I suppose Peyo realized to do this strip after HB Smurf episode, since this one is from the first season and that one was launched years later. Please correct me if I'm wrong. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

Yeah, I think this was created around the same time as the comic book version of "The Smurflings", which is its companion story in the same book. I wanted to do this translation before Papercutz got a hold of it, knowing that they might end up translating the title character's name as The Robot Smurf, which is what Le Schtroumpf Robot translates as, but that would lose the spirit of the character's original name in English. Then again, I'm not sure if Papercutz would do a translation of this story in English, given the drinking scene with Gargamel and Azrael that appears in this story.
Just for fun, Gargamel's villain song from the cartoon show got used for the drinking scene in this adaptation.
By the way, this is one of the comics that I own in German which I purchased from the Smurf Collectors Club International along with "Soup A La Smurf" (which I'm having trouble translating) and "The Jewel Smurfer". One thing I didn't like about purchasing foreign comics from them was how unhelpful the operator of that club was in even presenting titles, which made purchasing the comics more of a grab-bag affair. Then again, we didn't have the benefit of Google Translate like we do nowadays.

BREAKING NEWS!!! I've just got my copy of "Smurf Soup" from Papercutz, and guess what? It has the English translation of "The Clockwork Smurf" in it!

This comic story is really not that original, as it is based on a multi-part ad that appeared in Belgian newspapers in 1979 and the Robot Smurf was represented by the mascot for Benco (a European brand that is similar to Nestle's Quix).

That's curious: the Smurf in the third panel from page 12 reminds me Hackus from the new Smurfs movie. I wonder if that Smurf inspired the producers to him?

Hmm interesting... I knew about the Nestle Quick dispensing thing on the comic clockwork... which is a diff design from the Hanna Barbara version... the whole story is different. I guess their reason was to have an actual "episode" and give the character a bit more depth.
Thoughts?

And here is a look at the Benco version (where Clockwork is replaced by the Benco mascot).

I think it's the other way around, that Clockwork Smurf is what replaced the Benco bottle character, since in the next-to-the-last page of The Clockwork Smurf, there is an artwork shift between panels where what appears to be liquid coming from the fake Clockwork Smurf's hat that is poured out onto Papa Smurf's spoon ends up looking granular in the following panel.

You're correct, VicGeorge! I didn't express that very well. It was Clockwork that replaced the Benco guy. Whoops, sorry for the confusion. I was just meaning that in this comic it shows Benco instead of Clockwork - so we could compare the difference between the two comics.

If I haven't mentioned it before, the comic book version of Clockwork Smurf with the liquid-dispensing hat is what the cartoon show version of the character becomes in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story "Monkey On Your Smurf".

Me too, Vexette, despite he was a baddie.
And about Benco: here's some vintage strips (ads?) of him among the Smurfs.
BENCO AND THE SMURFS
- And Papa Smurf says one must smurf and when Papa Smurf says one must smurf, it must be so, for Papa Smurf is always right and...
- I HATE Brainy Smurf!
- And besides, the smurf is good for health...
- Just wait, I've got an idea!
- Benco, Brainy Smurf has been smurfing on our nerves again! Do you think you could help us?
- Sure, I'm going! I'll work this out right now.
- Excuse me, Brainy Smurf! I have something to offer you.
- Just listen... BZZZ...
- Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
- Agreed, it's a deal! Er... You are right, I said nothing at all!
- But... after all, what happened?
- Quite simply, he promised Brainy a cup of Benco if he stopped talking!
- Nothing to be done. He's still smurfing!
- What the smurf should we wake him up for, after all?
- He's not sleeping, but hibernating!
- Rise and shine, Lazy! The sun smurfs, smurfs, smurfs...
- The snow has already smurfed!
- I HATE snow!
- My oh my! Not even cold water can smurf him!
- And not Harmony's music either!
- But what else can we smurf?
- Just wait, I've got an idea!
- Benco, we need your help... Lazy Smurf doesn't want to smurf up at all!
- But... but I'm smelling hot Benco over here! YIIPEEE!
- Thanks, Benco!

- So, by smurfing on the e = mc² and that the square of the hypothesmurf is equal to...
- ...And if a2 + b2 = x, I smurf 2 and get 4, it's... a bolt of 8 and other of 10!!
- And now, it's just here where everything shall smurf!
- EURESMURF! IT WORKS!

- We'll smurf Papa Smurf an unforgettable birthday!
- Is it smurfing OK?
- I'm smurfing my best!
- Bah!
- Well, that's it! Couldn't you have smurfed anything smurfbetter?
- Yep, your cake doesn't look smurfy at all!
- I HATE cakes!
- Hm... Just wait, I'll be back right away.
- Benco, please come quick! I need smurfingly your help!
- We smurfed a cake for Papa Smurf's b-day, but it didn't smurf well!
- Here we are...
HAPPY SMURFDAY TO YOU...
- Thanks, Benco!
- And now I'm going to smurf an extraordinary trick! Will one of you come to the stage?
- Pay attention and smurf me well. This carafe contains water, right?
- Now I'm smurfing the water into this glass; so what shall happen later? Taste it!
- Well, it's raspberry juice!
- EXACTLY! RASPBERRY JUICE! THANKS MUCH FOR THE CHEERS!
- Oh yeah.
- Pfft!
- Oh, wait! I'm going to smurf you an even smurfier trick!
- I'm smurfing some milk into this bowl, and what shall happen then? Taste it!
- But... it's Benco!!
- Benco?

(Here's Forward Smurf, dribbling an adversary...)
(He smurfs...)
(AND IT'S A GOAL!!)
(The referee smurfs the end of the match: Smurf - 1 X 0!)
- Congrats, you smurfed pretty well!
- Er... what's this inside the cup?
- That's a surprise. Taste it!
- But... it's Benco!!
- This is the smurfiest cup I've ever smurfed! Thanks a lot, Benco!
- Come on, my Smurfs, get to work! We need to smurf a bridge over the River Smurf!
- There, Papa Smurf... it's smurfdone!
- Ah, here you are, Benco! Just look at that mess they smurfed to me!
- Just wait, I've got an idea!
- ...And if you build a good and firm bridge, I'll keep my promise!
- Quick, pass me the smurf!
- Hop!
- Quicker!
- That's right! I promised them a cup of Benco each!
- Great, Benco! Thanks!
- Hey, Smurf! Here, I've got a present for you!
- For me?
- Thanks, Jokey Smurf! What's it?
- It's a surprise...
- Ah, that's funny! Veeeery funny!
- Say, Benco... Could you smurf me a little service?
- Naturally, my friend!
- Hi, Jokey Smurf! Here, I've got a present for you!
- Oh no, Benco, thank you very much! The prank of the gift that smurfs in the face doesn't work on me.
- Really? Well, it's up to you.
- Hey there!! Who wants my present?
- Me, me!
- No, me!
- Oh my... it's Benco!
- Yum yum... It's so good!
- And you, Jokey? Would you like some Benco too?

- Thanks, Benco!
- I HATE the smurfs!
- Well, here's Grouchy Smurf!
- Yeah, the one that ever likes nothing!
- Say, Grouchy, would you like some mulberries?
- Or do you prefer playing smurfrog?
- How about playing the sax, then?
- I HATE berries, frogs and saxes!
- You are right: he does like nothing at all!
- No, he really doesn't!
- Hey, wait! I wonder if...?
- Too bad you don't even like Benco, Grouchy!
(I HATE Benco!! I HATE Benco!!)
(Alright, just a little in the bowl.)
- HA HA HA, I should have smurfed! No one can resist a bowl of Benco!
(And so what? I LOVE Benco!)
- Sarsaparilla juice again!
- Always the same!
- We've had enough!

- ...And ten drops of concentrated marshmallow... A touch of elderflower elixir... A hint of malt powder... Water... Now, I'll mix all together!
- Let's see how this shall smurf.
- BLEARGH!
- Good morning, Papa Smurf! How are you doing?
- Not very fine, Benco! I haven't smurfed a good formula so far.
- Then, drink this. Perhaps it shall inspire you a little!
- Great smurfs! It's exactly what I've searched for!
- Hey there, my Smurfs! I've... Er, we've just smurfed this!
- Come and get it!
- WOW! It's pretty good!
