Publication history.
The adventure of King Smurf first started in "Spirou" magazine in 1964 as "Le Schtroumpfissime" (cf. "illustrissimo" — "most illustrious" — a term sometimes used to
Jokey Smurf) based themselves in the forest, insulting and provoking King Smurf from a distance. By offering the other Smurfs gold medals, King Smurf managed to mount an expedition into the forest to confront the rebellion, but it was a failure, with the rebels simply getting more recruits in the process.
To prevent any more defections, King Smurf had the village surrounded by a wooden wall. When he refused to abdicate, the rebels attacked the village. King Smurf's troops fought back by pelting them with tomatoes.
