Moomin

Comic strips by Tove and Lars Jansson

Moomin comic strips first appeared in 1947, in the children's section of the Ny Tid newspaper. These were introduced to English readers in 1954 in the London newspaper The Evening News. Tove Jansson drew and wrote all the strips alone until 1959, then shared the workload with her brother Lars Jansson until 1961, when Lars Jansson took over the job completely - he worked on the strip until production ceased in 1975.
