Moomin: Volume 2: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip
Tove Jansson
@DNicholsAuthor Tove Jansson. Her writing/art was deceptively simple, but portrayed simple things & moments as if they were great adventures or profound truths. Whenever I feel like words or drawings won't flow, I pull out a Moomin book or collection of comic strips.
