Moomin Comic Strip Volume 5

Moomin is a comic book set in the imaginary world of Moomin Valley. With mesmerizing characters and charming twists, one is bound to get captivated in the world that Tove Janssonhas created. With many disruptions of a winter hibernation, a love triangle, and a oversea adventure with pirates, Moomin Valley is packed with adventure and hilarious doings. Now let me introduce you to a few of the characters in this particular Volume. 

The Moomin Family. 

Moominmama is the mother of the family, and she is kind and caring. She is also perhaps the most sensible out of them all, and looks something like this:

She always carries a black purse around, as well as an apron tied to her waist. Versions on this apron do differ, however, and is not always the same. 

Moominpapa is the father of the Moomins and he is outgoing, and likes to gamble, and drink. He is adventurous and often talks about writing a memoir. He looks something like this:

Moominpappa always is seen with a black top hat. 

Moomintroll is the main character, the son of Moominpapa and Moominmama, and he is the silly Moomin. He isn't the sharpest pencil in the pencil box, but he is kind and tries to make everyone happy. He looks like this:

He looks like all the other Moomins but without a distinctive article of clothing. 

Snorkmaiden is Moomintroll's 'girlfriend' and she is a Snork- although she has the appearance close to a Moomin, she is not one. She is loyal to her friends, but can be a tad prickly. She fantasizes after romance and is a bit melodramatic. She looks something like this:

*Sorry that's a really blurry picture*

Being a Snork, she has a tuft of hair in between her ears, which she is very fond of. Snorkmaiden also has a golden anklet which she keeps on her ankle. 

Those are all the Moomins, and if you wish meet more of these fascinating characters, I suggest you go and read the comics! In this volume, there are three chapters: Moomin Winter, Moomin Under Sail, and Fuddler's Courtship. In Moomin Winter, Moomin and his family decide to hibernate. However, guests seem determined to keep them from sleeping. After so many interruptions, Moominmama finally just gives up on trying. With problems with a certain Nibling that likes to discover secrets, their winter is about as far as being uneventful as you can get! Meanwhile, in Moomin Under Sail, Moomin and his family decide to go along with their dear friend Too-Tick on a great overseas adventure. Along with getting into fights with two pirates, they go on another thrilling adventure. Fuddler's Courtship is about a love triangle between The Fuddler, Mymble, and a certain Dr. Hatter (really- he is about as mad as a Mad Hatter!) The Moomin Comic Strips are great for people who like out of the ordinary things that make you laugh out loud!
