Round 1 Match 8: Cute/Funny Division
 |  |  |
Nasty Man Battle!
Purple Pieman: The natural foil for Strawberry Shortcake and her food-fragranced friends
Gargamel: The predator of the Smurf collective. Like other cartooon predators, (eg. Wille E Coyote) he is both infinitely resourceful (a Blue Magnet?) and ultimately unsuccessful.

Same demonic eyes...what if they're the SAME CHARACTER but simply trying to make ends meet (doing time in both worlds to pull home a decent wage to bring home the bacon)...when the day comes for them to duke it out will one of them claim to have a cold? If so, which one? I say it's pointless, not just because they're essentially pulled from the same Zietgiest (whew!) but more importantly I'm not sure I care...
I want to go with the Purple Pie Man for nostalgia reasons - and the cool toy, but this battle truly goes to Gargamel.
He was crafty. And all the guy wanted was some food - smurfs were three apples high, one or two of those and you have a good meal. He got a bad rap. Plus he MADE a smurf - he had the brains!
He just seems like he would outfox the pie guy....

Gargamel is just so fun to say.
The ironic thing is that he, as enemy of the Smurfs (who are considered Satanic by super-fundy conservative Christians), is the champion for righteousness and good. (He is regarded by other sources as a symbol for capitalism and greed - thereby receiving bonus points from the Southern Baptists...)
His cat named Azrael is a reference to an archangel of Jewish and Islamic legend (and the zodiac sign of Scorpio). It is not such a far stretch to submit that he is, in fact, working to rid the world of evil.
Go Gargamel!
