Summary

Moomin has been swiftly making its way into the hearts of North Americans ever since Drawn & Quarterly began collecting the strip in 2006。 It debuted in the London Evening News in 1954 and has become the fastest-selling D+Q series to date。 Fifty years ago, Tove Jansson’s observations of everyday life—whimsical but with biting undertones—easily caught the attention of an international audience and still resonate today。

This third volume returns to Moominvalley, where its beloved inhabitants get tangled up in five new stories。 Moomin falls in love with a damsel in distress, an unseasonably warm spell turns the valley into a tropical rain forest, and a flying saucer crashes into Moominmamma’s garden。 Moominpappa decides to live out his dream of occupying a lighthouse and writing a great seaside novel, only to discover that he hates the sea so close up and has no interest in writing about it, and a variety of curious clubs spring up in the valley。 Moomin and Moominmamma do their level best to avoid the whole mess but, of course, get drawn into the muddle。

Volume Three of the complete Tove Jansson comic strips assembles five Moomin stories from 1956-1957。 Unfortunately, overall these stories are less compelling than those of Volume Two。 The first story, 'Moomin Falls in Love' features a flood, and thus reuses several scenes from 'Moominsummer Madness'。 'Moomin and the Martians' sees the return of Sniff, who by now has become a completely unpleasant character, greedy and squealing。 The best of the lot is 'Moomin and the Sea'。 This story is set in m Volume Three of the complete Tove Jansson comic strips assembles five Moomin stories from 1956-1957。 Unfortunately, overall these stories are less compelling than those of Volume Two。 The first story, 'Moomin Falls in Love' features a flood, and thus reuses several scenes from 'Moominsummer Madness'。 'Moomin and the Martians' sees the return of Sniff, who by now has become a completely unpleasant character, greedy and squealing。 The best of the lot is 'Moomin and the Sea'。 This story is set in motion when Moominpappa decides he wants to live in a lighthouse to write a great novel。 This tale is surprisingly well-composed, intertwining several sub-stories and even knowing a running gag of a fisherman never catching anything, but enjoying the surroundings, nonetheless。 'Moomin and the Sea' introduces Too-Tikki, who also appears in 'Moominland Midwinter from the same year。 In the comic strip Too-Tikki is a carpenter of undefined gender, while in the book she's identified as a female character。 This story is the embryonic version of 'Moominpappa at Sea'。Most extraordinary are the panels on page 34, in which the Moomins are mistaken for hippopotamuses, something they're often compared to, probably much to Jansson's annoyance。 。。。more

I don't always love the stories in these comics - sometimes they're a little too tongue-in-cheek, like the "too many clubs" episode that closes out this volume, but ones like the lighthouse story throw everything back into balance。 It's one of my favorites - funny and dark, with wonderful characters and jokes that hit a little too close to home for writers。 I love the fisherman, too; it's random characters like that who really make the moomin-world so unique and wonderful。I also thought it was p I don't always love the stories in these comics - sometimes they're a little too tongue-in-cheek, like the "too many clubs" episode that closes out this volume, but ones like the lighthouse story throw everything back into balance。 It's one of my favorites - funny and dark, with wonderful characters and jokes that hit a little too close to home for writers。 I love the fisherman, too; it's random characters like that who really make the moomin-world so unique and wonderful。I also thought it was pretty funny that there's an entire story in here that seems to have been solely written to prove that moomins are, in fact, not hippos。And the little martian was very cute, although I would've liked a little more substance to his story。 And sometimes Snorkmaiden gets on my nerves。 Still, the art is always wonderfully expressive, with every panel giving you something fun to look at。 。。。more

This annoyed me less than previous volumes, which may in large part be because I took a break in reading the series, but is also because the shorter narrative arcs leave less room for absurdity。 But neither did I enjoy it more than the rest of the comics。 It has the same strengths (art, approachability) and same limitations (not as evocative or emotionally robust as the novels), and leaves me as apathetic。 I think that means it's time to give up on the comics。 This annoyed me less than previous volumes, which may in large part be because I took a break in reading the series, but is also because the shorter narrative arcs leave less room for absurdity。 But neither did I enjoy it more than the rest of the comics。 It has the same strengths (art, approachability) and same limitations (not as evocative or emotionally robust as the novels), and leaves me as apathetic。 I think that means it's time to give up on the comics。 。。。more

jzthompson

Charming and very offbeat, most stories follow a meandering logic that is dreamlike in the most literal sense, often taking place in surreal worlds-turned-upside-down。 The humour comes from the reactions of the emotional, unreliable, but essentially decent Moomins。

Suzanne Fournier

Another set of Moomin family adventures。 Particularly enjoyed Moominvalley turns Jungle。

Just a weirdly charming, surreal all-ages strip about the Moomin family。 I found it particularly amusing when animals were freed from the zoo and the zookeepers kept calling the Moomins hippopotamuses, while trying to take them back to the zoo。 There's a lot of really odd twists, but they all pretty much make sense in the odd world of Moomin, and the art is quite good。 Lots of gender conflict throughout this volume, and plenty of the usual "appreciate your family and your home" themes that popul Just a weirdly charming, surreal all-ages strip about the Moomin family。 I found it particularly amusing when animals were freed from the zoo and the zookeepers kept calling the Moomins hippopotamuses, while trying to take them back to the zoo。 There's a lot of really odd twists, but they all pretty much make sense in the odd world of Moomin, and the art is quite good。 Lots of gender conflict throughout this volume, and plenty of the usual "appreciate your family and your home" themes that populated the previous volume。 Solid, fanciful work。 。。。more

I've been seeing Moomin figures and cartoons around for a while, at some point there was even a Christmas exhibition near my house and so I decided to finally find out what Moomin is。 I got my hands on this edition and enjoyed it。 I am not sure if it is for children as some claim, it is too mature in many aspects, but it is different and original!The artwork is cute, and even though the stories end happy they are always realistic when it comes to people's whims and characters。9- Moomin falls in I've been seeing Moomin figures and cartoons around for a while, at some point there was even a Christmas exhibition near my house and so I decided to finally find out what Moomin is。 I got my hands on this edition and enjoyed it。 I am not sure if it is for children as some claim, it is too mature in many aspects, but it is different and original!The artwork is cute, and even though the stories end happy they are always realistic when it comes to people's whims and characters。9- Moomin falls in Love- love vs infatuation and lasting attachments10- Moominvalley Turns Jungle- question of wild animals in zoo, would they be happier in the wild?11- Moomin and the Martians-"curiosity killed the cat"and informer12- Moomin and the Sea- dreams of adventure13- Club Life in Moominvalley- middle age crisis and staying loyal to friends' with conflicting interests 。。。more

Not as good as vol。 2。 Still Moomins, so still great。 Highlights included: accidentally riding a mine back to the lighthouse, being confused as hippos, when animals are let free from the zoo and being part their own club AND EVERYONE JOINS AND WEARS TIES, because that is just what is done when one is in a club!

Volume 3 of this fantastic comic strip collection is my favorite so far - it has some of my all-time favorite Moomin stories, such as when Moominpappa moves the family to a lighthouse, and when Moominvalley becomes a jungle。 Amazing。

This is the third in the comic strip。 Personally, I think that Tove Jansson's least important work is in her comic strips。 The format of a daily newspaper strip was not suited to her particular form of genius。 Having said that, while the quality of the work here varies quite a bit。 The War of the Worlds spoof is probably the weakest, the whole thing is a delight。 The most interesting bit is when they go to a lighthouse, because that work is a first pass at the material in Moominpappa at Sea, whi This is the third in the comic strip。 Personally, I think that Tove Jansson's least important work is in her comic strips。 The format of a daily newspaper strip was not suited to her particular form of genius。 Having said that, while the quality of the work here varies quite a bit。 The War of the Worlds spoof is probably the weakest, the whole thing is a delight。 The most interesting bit is when they go to a lighthouse, because that work is a first pass at the material in Moominpappa at Sea, which is perhaps her greatest novel and it foreshadows that work of genius。 The art is very good considering how it was being rushed out although the stories are a little disjointed。 It isn't just for the die hard Moomin fan, but is worth reading for everyone。 。。。more
