Short summary

Wedding Bells for Gargamel: The Smurfs befriend a maiden in distress who is betrothed to Gargamel.To Smurf a Thief: The Smurfs and Homnibus befriend a boy whose master forces him to steal.

There are elements from "To Smurf a Thief" that are based on the Charles Dickens novel "Oliver Twist" (1839), such as:

  • The criminal Shedlock represents both Fagin (who teaches children to pickpocket) and his violent associate Bill Sikes
  • His protégé Kipper represents the orphan Oliver Twist
  • Kipper stole an purse from Homnibus just like Oliver stole a valuable from a gentleman
  • Homnibus decides not to press criminal charges against Kipper and take him under his care just like the gentleman did for Oliver

The enchanter Homnibus is depicted as a man who lives alone in "To Smurf a Thief" before taking in the young thief Kipper (whom he renamed "Justin"). In the "Johan and Peewit" and latter Smurf comic stories, he has a servant by the name of Oliver who does not appear in the cartoon series.
