EL AGUA PRODIGIOSA

"El agua prodigiosa" takes us back to the Middle Ages to tell us about the adventures of Johan and Peewit, two characters created and drawn by Pierre Culliford, known as "Peyo".

Two characters who are not as famous today as they deserve to be, mainly due to the appearance in their stories of a group of small blue creatures known as the Smurfs.

Johan is young, intelligent, brave and skilled with a sword. He is the main character of the stories. Peewit is his companion. He has the face of a naughty child who has matured in body but not in mind. He is always hungry and his love of music leads him to compose rapidly and play dreadful, tuneless songs on all kinds of instruments, causing people to flee from him as if he were a kind of reverse Pied Piper of Hamelin.

In this adventure, our heroes travel to a remote location in search of a magical water source to help the residents of a village defeat a witch who has made them weak, defenseless and feeble. On their journey they come across the soldiers of an evil lord, ogres, wizards, snakes, danger and an array of events which finally resolve themselves in a happy ending.

The structure of the piece, because of its descriptive nature, follows the plot development of this story.

This work is a worthy tribute to these two likeable characters who have been forgotten by some and remain unknown to most.
