Belgian Characters

Country: Belgium
From: Polish Ladies Abroad Club
Year: 2017

This card was issued last year to commemorate the terrorist attack (and pay tribute to its victims) in Belgium.
All the characters depicted on the card are of Belgian origin. Unfortunately, I recognize only two of them - the blue Smurf and Lucky Luke. Can you name all the other ones?
