Moomin Book Four: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip by Tove Jansson

1.0

This is one collection that aged very very very badly. The Wild West chapter was so painfully full of racial stereotypes I could barely get through it. Sometimes you encounter a piece of older fiction that just slaps you in the face with bad representation.

The other stories in this collection had the same off-kilter silly antics seen in previous volumes. They were fun and in keeping with the tone of other Moomin comics. There are some truly delightful panels. They didn’t offset the deeply uncomfortable first story.
