The “kite” in frame 10 is a radio antenna. (When was this cartoon drawn?)

There’s a new genre/literary movement waiting to be born: Moominpunk Pastiche. (Or maybe that’s just a band name.) (Or a touring burlesque group.)

That’s great! Hope they didn’t end up in an End of Time menagerie shortly after however…

There appears to be a kite attached to the contraption, in the bottom left hand corner of frame #10 – could be for Franklin / Frankenstein style lightening-tapping which would be in keeping with the times.

I used to love the cartoon The Moomins when I was a kid although unfortunately I never got the chance to read the comics.
