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.
