My Graphic Novel Friday post on the latest Moomin book.
Because of these qualities, there’s a pleasure in reading Moomin that’s somewhat unique. We’re battered all day by various types of white noise and by all kinds of blaring media, from television to video games. Moomin has a restorative, calming effect while never being maudlin, sentimental, or boring. (Indeed, Jansson’s eye for satire can be sharp and unforgiving, within the context of her beloved characters.)

Way cool Jeff. Just back from a run listening to Groth and Thompson talk up the series in a recent podcast!

By the way, I’m a fool. I read Moomin but my fizzing, faulting brain saw Mome. Mome = Fantagraphics, Moomin = D&Q. (With apologies to Chris Oliveros.)
