It’s such a striking image. I have last seen it probably somewhere in the early 80s when my age was still single digit long and either my parents were reading Moomins to me, or I already knew how to read myself. Regardless, 40 odd years later, the style was immediately recognizable even before scrolling down to reveal a soft round Moomin at the bottom.
Tove Jansson’s style is amazing. I really feel bad that there’s no good English translation of the music album version of Who Will Comfort Toffle. You guys are really missing out.

So cool. It seemed like it must be an illustration for a kids book or something.
