Whimsy!

To lighten my mood I've read a bunch of Moomin comic strips and dearly wished they had been part of my childhood. They are quite nicely done by Finnish-Swede illustrator Tove Jansson who had quite a long career. I'm liking her deceptively simple style in both Moomin and other works she's done and am genuinely curious about her stories, so it may mean buying the book collections in the future. And how can you not love characters named Moomintroll, Moominpappa, Mooominmamma,Snorkmaiden, Snufkin, Too-Ticky, The Groke, etc? Until Christmas, an image dump!
