Why Belgium is famous

Other than Belgian Waffles (and it's debatable how Belgian those are...), Belgium is basically famous for two things: Tintin and the Smurfs.  Tintin was created, of course, by Herge, and the Smurfs are credited to some man named Peyo.  How is it that one tiny country could have produced two of the world's most famous and beloved cartoons?
