The image quality is a bit on the crap side, because I don't have a scanner, only a camera, but I thought I should share this:

Clearly the Moomin comic strips have all sorts to offer! I hadn't bothered to check them out before.

Oh gosh this is such an awesome find! The humour is so subtle and cute and makes me so happy. Did you know they're making a new Moomin movie in 3D? :D

This fills me with distinct dread. Already the animated version is mildly wrong in so many ways (the Moomins are WHITE, darnit!) and now this...

Well, I'm looking forward to it because Bjork has written some of the soundtrack.

I am totally going to try reading more of the comic strips. *g*

I had heard, though I don't know if I'm sold on any of the adaptations really - but we'll see!

Love that last panel. I've seen lots of Moomin-related illustrations and goods but I've never actually read the strips/books myself... I really need to get around to it some day, they seem really cute.

*grin* quite.

I haven't really read the comics, though I'm going to, but the books are great. :)
