Voi, nämähän oli hauskoja!
Olen toki joskus lukenut näitä lehdistä, ja ehkä tällaista kirjaakin joskus... Mutta nyt luin ensimmäistä kertaa kunnolla, ja olipas hauskoja! Nämähän saa nauramaankin välillä 😁
Muumien kanssa ei tosiaankaan ole selvää, kenelle ne on tarkoitettu. Ei oikein lapsille ei, ennemminkin lapsellisille aikuisille - mutta eihän näissä ole mitään lapsellistakaan! Kujeilevaa ja absurdia.

Muumit ei kyllä petä ja ne ovat aina hyviä. Tässä sarjakuvaklassikkokirjassa oli neljä hyvää ja erilaista tarinaa muumien maailmasta. Kuvat olivat mustavalkoiset, mutta silti ihan kohtuullisesti sai selvää kuvista. Aina tietysti olisi parempi värillisinä.

Thoroughly have enjoyed this unusual, wonderful and hilarious comic series. Particularly enjoyed Damsel in Distress.

Lars Janssonin myöhäisempiä muumisarjakuvia, joissa tarinat etenevät orgaanisesti ja spontaanin oloisesti hetkestä toiseen. Larsin käsikirjoitukset ovat usein Tovea hauskempia, piirrosjälki puolestaan rosoista ja etenkin liikkeen kuvaaminen rajallista.

Vähän arvoin kahden ja kolmen tähden välillä, mutta sarjan tekijöiden laiskistuminen pyöristi lopputuloksen alaspäin. Kun alkuosien kannet on tehty kollaaseina useista ruuduista ja sarjakuvia taustoitetaan lyhyillä historiaesseillä, niin loppusuoralla mennään yksittäisten ruutujen suurennuksilla ja ilman taustatietoja.

excellently chosen in the theme for each story but it's getting dull when approaching to the outcome for the first two stories, though (except 'Sniff's Sports Shop and 'Mymble's Diamond' in this volume).

[Nestor B.]

The first story "Damsel in Distress" is quite good, about a film shoot that goes wrong when Moomintroll and Moominpappa, by misunderstanding, kidnap the main actors. The rest of the book consists of three rather uninspired stories with Fuddler, Sniff and Mymble respectively in the lead roles.

Some of the comic strips are quite funny, others rather odd.

Näistä vaan tulee aina niin hyvälle tuulelle :)

I actually really enjoyed this one. It looks like Lars Jansson found his stride as he got used to doing these comics on his own. They have his personal touch still (I'm not a fan of the banners that announce what's happening in panels - I liked that Tove let you figure that out for yourself), but much of the moomin charm and whimsy is present again.

I also quite like how Lars ended up taking over his sister's comics: he took it upon himself to secretly train himself (with his mother's help) how to draw moomins, although he'd never previously been an artist. The quote at the back of his volumes is a good one: "If you wait for inspiration, you'll never accomplish a thing. You just have to roll up your sleeves and get to work."

Moominpappa he definitely is not. There's much to admire in his work and philosophy.

Aika perinteistä muumimenoa tässäkin kirjassa on luettavissa. Kokoelman parasta antia oli ehdottomasti Mymmelin timantti. Mymmelin jatkuvat ihastumiset ja ystävien mielipiteiden kuuntelu osuvat niin nappiin, että tarinaa lukiessa suupieleni kohosivat jokaisen aukeaman jälkeen yhä ylemmäs.

Damsel in Distress was the best story in this volume.

[Книжни Криле]

Разпознаваемият авторски стил на Туве Янсон лъха от тези комикси точно както и от книгите. Героите са отражения на различни страни от човешката природа, обрисуват (и до известна степен дори карикатуризират) честно и открито хорския характер, а историите за тях са изпълнени с приказна философия, семейна топлина, уюта на дома, очарованието на природата, и всичко това поръсено с щипка добронамерена самоирония и здравословно количество носталгия.

Албуми от 1 до 5 преиздават пълната колекция от комиксите на Туве Янсон – първите финландски издания от 1947–1948г., и после британските стрипове от вестниците, за периода от 1954 до 1959г.

Албум 6 започва с комиксите на Ларс от 1960г. През януари 2017 се чака да излезе от печат Албум 11, който ще започне комиксите от 1965г. А имайки предвид, че стриповете на Ларс Янсон излизат чак до 1975г. представете си само колко още албуми тепърва предстоят!
