My first attempt at smurfing an English translation of an old Smurfs comic book story from Europe. Entitled "Les Schtroumpfs de L'Ordre", also translated as "The Smurfs of the Law".

I was going to do the adaptation. But I wonder how you're going to do the wall graffiti part that comes up in the story.

Here's a correction of Page 45:

And the original credits for the comic story, plus a translation credit going to yours truly:

Not bad.
Here's the original summary, taken from a Dutch version of the comic:
Papa Smurf must intervene every now and then in minor quarrels between Smurfs. He cannot therefore fully engage in his experiments. To get some peace, democratic laws are being voted to guarantee order in the village. Because the Smurfs do not always spontaneously comply with the laws, Brainy Smurf is instructed to monitor compliance with the law: he becomes a Police Smurf. He is given the power to punish the others and gets Hefty Smurf as his (strong) right hand man. The penalties do not go down well with the others.
There is a fair in the village, but many attractions appear to be sabotaged. The Police Smurfs search in vain for the perpetrator, but Papa Smurf knows how to identify the perpetrator: it is Smurf, an unnamed Smurf who takes care of the lanterns at parties. He's tired of not being recognized for that and just being good at paying fines, while some others gush the dance. The Smurfs forgive Smurf, now called "Lantern Smurf".
The next day, Brainy Smurf sees Lantern Smurf walking out of a shed. A few moments later a serious fire starts in the shed. The Smurf is blamed and imprisoned, but he escapes and tries to convince Smurfette and Papa Smurf of his innocence. Papa Smurf investigates himself and finds that a carelessly left magnifying glass of Brainy Smurf has set the barn on fire. Lantern Smurf gets apologies and the Police Smurfs give up. The other Smurfs are not eager to take their role and think that from now on it can continue without the police. If there is still a problem, then of course there is ... Papa Smurf!
