Summary
In the second volume of Tove Jansson's humorous yet melancholic Moomin comic strip， we get four new stories about jealousy， competition， child rearing， and self-reinvention。 The Moomins try to hibernate in the fashion of their ancestors but insomnia places them smack-dab into a winter carnival with the winter-sports-loving Mr。 Brisk。 The fickle and eternally lovestruck Mymble and Snorkmaiden find themselves in competition over a thrilling new man。 Moominmamma meets her new neighbor， the Fillyjonk， causing her to hire the depressed and secretive Misabel as her new maid。 Mymble's mother arrives on the Moomin family's doorstep with her seventeen new children。 Finally， a prophet arrives on the scene declaring that the happy Moomins are in fact not happy at all and need to get back to nature and be free。 Moomin， of course， becomes more and more miserable the freer he gets。

These comics are so good。 Not only do they make me laugh， but they remind me of all the goodness in grumpiness， frivolity and messes。 A delightful little world of quirks beautifully created by Tove Jansson。

Överlag mycket användbar ！！ Den här boken är bättre än de flesta eftersom den har mer text。 Berättelserna är också mer komplexa。 Detta är riktigt bra för mellanhögtalare！！！:））） （som referens har jag bara lärt mig svenska i 9 månader， jag är 16。 Mitt första språk är engelska）

Ah， Moomins take me to my happy place。 I love the entire ambience of Moominvalley， and Jansson's illustrations are beautiful。 There are four whimsical little stories in this volume， including the time the Mymble's mother and new batch of children （including the fantastic Little My） come to visit and destroy everything in their path; when the residents of Moominvalley are influenced by two new prophets on the block; when Moominmamma hires Misabel as a maid; and winter tales when Mr Brisk appears Ah， Moomins take me to my happy place。 I love the entire ambience of Moominvalley， and Jansson's illustrations are beautiful。 There are four whimsical little stories in this volume， including the time the Mymble's mother and new batch of children （including the fantastic Little My） come to visit and destroy everything in their path; when the residents of Moominvalley are influenced by two new prophets on the block; when Moominmamma hires Misabel as a maid; and winter tales when Mr Brisk appears to encourage them in winter sports and competitions。。。 but doesn't like losing it seems。 。。。more

In 1955 Tove Jansson gradually grasped the medium of the daily comic strip， and thus on average the four comic strips assembled here are better than those in Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip， Vol。 1。 The first story， 'Moomin's Winter Follies' looks forward to 'Moominland Midwinter' sharing not only its wintery settings， bu several themes， as well。 The second story， 'Moomin Mamma's' Maid' is much better， however， and must be counted among the finest Moomin comic strips。 Here Fillyjon In 1955 Tove Jansson gradually grasped the medium of the daily comic strip， and thus on average the four comic strips assembled here are better than those in Moomin: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip， Vol。 1。 The first story， 'Moomin's Winter Follies' looks forward to 'Moominland Midwinter' sharing not only its wintery settings， bu several themes， as well。 The second story， 'Moomin Mamma's' Maid' is much better， however， and must be counted among the finest Moomin comic strips。 Here Fillyjonk and Misabel from 'Moominsummer Madness' are introduced in the comic strip。 Misabel already had been a surprisingly layered character in the children's book， and she's equally interesting here。 Both Misabel's dutiful， gloomy， lonely， anxious and insecure nature and Fillyjonk's strict， orderly and tidy character are juxtaposed to the playful and carefree Moomins to a great effect。 In the end， this is even a touching tale。'Moomin builds a House' introduces Little My into the comic strip， and delves more into Moomintroll's character and his relationship with the Snork Maiden。'Moomin Begins a New Life' revolves around the whole valley suddenly following a prophet， who's a sort of hippie avant la lettre。 This story sees the return of Sniff， who has become quite a dodgy character， teaming with the criminal Stinky。 This story is sort of social fable， very akin to Marten Toonder's work from the same era， and again one of the more interesting of the Moomin comic strips。In all， Jansson succeeds in telling more consistent stories， with added depth and subtlety， making these comic strips more clearly timeless classics than the rambling attempts of Volume One。 Jansson's artwork is consistently charming throughout。 On page 53 she reuses a drawing from 'The Exploits of Moominpappa， Described by Himself' of the Mymble's daughter washing all her siblings。 。。。more

Los cómics de Mumin son indispensables para todos los que queremos tomarnos la vida menos en serio， soñar， y aceptar a los demás con sus diferencias。 El mundo de los Mumin es encantador， me encantan todos los personajes tan diversos。

Muumimamma toatydruku lugu tekitas mus kõige rohkem tundeid ja tõi koomiksitesse sisse Filifjonka， sama meeldivalt ebameeldiva kui ikka。 Nuuskmõmmik on kusagil mujal ja Muumipapa vaarib puskarit， samas kui prohvetid käsikähmlevad。

Mummimamma som først blir lei seg fordi alle har glemt henne， for så å bli sint fordi de oppfører seg tullete og drar på stranden for å plukke skjell alene is a whole mood。 ELSKER mummi！

Another wonderful instalment of the original comic strip drawn by Tove Jansson。 A must for adult fans of the series， and reluctant young readers who like the characters but would respond better to a graphic novel than the books。

Cute collection of 4 stories with charming illustrations。 Perhaps a little dated sometimes， but that’s understandable given the context of the time。 Overall， an enchanting and nostalgic collection。 I’d definitely want to read more Moomin comics！

At this point it seems fair to say that I just don't enjoy the comics as much as the books。 My initial impressions remain: the art is charming， emotive， with phenomenal background detail。 But the characters are slighter， more frivolous。 They're inconsistent not just with the tone/character development in the books， but even between individual comic arcs。 But this collection has Little My， particularly the version of her character that I'd heard of via the fandom and expected to love， and indeed At this point it seems fair to say that I just don't enjoy the comics as much as the books。 My initial impressions remain: the art is charming， emotive， with phenomenal background detail。 But the characters are slighter， more frivolous。 They're inconsistent not just with the tone/character development in the books， but even between individual comic arcs。 But this collection has Little My， particularly the version of her character that I'd heard of via the fandom and expected to love， and indeed I do; she's mean but not cruel， incisive， selfish， and so much fun--a sharp counterpoint to the usual Moomin-mindness。 。。。more

Imperdible para un fan de los Mumin。 Este tomo lo disfrute mucho， mi historia favorita fue Mumin se construye una casa porque por fin aparece mi personaje favorito: Pequeña My。 Me la pase muy bien leyendo lo que hace。 También los demás son buenos y siempre te dejan algo。

All these 4 stories are brilliantly funny and observant。 There is something quotable on nearly every page and the art would be very expressive even on its own。 The first story about winter and the moomins is very relatable to me， and I love it how the moomins are not that keen on winter and think that the winter sports are like a punishment。 And Moominpappa and Stinky make their Manhattan Dynamite （which is a drink， not a weapon）！ Little My also makes her entrance。

where should i even start。。。 these comics are clearly full of problematic material and it just makes me so disappointed in tove， even though the times were so different back when these were created， but still。 and it disappoints me too how good ratings these have gotten， like？ are you seriously that blind to all these problems？in this book mymble and snorkmaiden once again go and fall in love with a man who is oh so strong and manly， without literally any other reason that him being "a real man" where should i even start。。。 these comics are clearly full of problematic material and it just makes me so disappointed in tove， even though the times were so different back when these were created， but still。 and it disappoints me too how good ratings these have gotten， like？ are you seriously that blind to all these problems？in this book mymble and snorkmaiden once again go and fall in love with a man who is oh so strong and manly， without literally any other reason that him being "a real man"。 snorkmaiden suggests that moomintroll is a wuss and by that clearly means not manly enough。 and when moomintroll then does something he's terrified of to impress snorkmaiden for whatever reason， she couldn't care less because she's so in love with that other man。 and when mymble and snorkmaiden get in trouble and ask the man they have fallen for to help them， he doesn't care about "stupid girls"。 and when moomintroll helps them， failing a little bit， snorkmaiden is mean to him。 it's really， really not cool at all to potray men to only be worthy of love if they're strong and brave and "manly" whatever that means。 and the other thing， which is even more gross。 in the last comic of this book， snorkmaiden gets "robbed" by a man with her consent， and for snorkmaiden that is boring and not pleasant because the man wouldn't ever even considered "robbing" her without consent， because it would've been so much more romantic if he would've just robbed without asking permission。 there's not even words to describe how utterly disgusting that is。 it is never romantic even in the slightest to not have consent， if you don't have that you're （sexually） harassing。 always and every single time。 everyone who doesn't ask for consent is a horrible creep and should NOT be romanticized。 and in this comic， moomintroll does just that， and it is not cool， at all。seriously， why on earth are you liking these comics so much？ 。。。more

I had seen one pane from the comic series Moomin begins a new life of Moominpappa in a tree reading Agatha Christie on tumblr that started me reading the Moomin books。 I was delighted to find the full story that it belonged in。
