Lars Jansson (Author)
Lars Jansson (8 September 1926 - 31 July 2000) was a Finnish
cartoonist and author. He was a published author at sixteen before
he taught himself to be a cartoonist in order to replace his sister
Tove on the Moomin comic strip. Lars Jansson drew the strip for
fourteen years.
"Here is where Jansson's weird but true world begins; where fear, loneliness and insecurity are banished by love and the force of imagination." --Time "[Jansson's] work soars with lightness and speed, and her drawings only echo her writing: delicate but precise, observant yet suggestive . . . Jansson was exceptional, an exuberant explorer of emotional independence and interdependence, a liberating force." --Los Angeles Times Book Review "A lost treasure now rediscovered--one of the sweetest, strangest comics strips ever drawn or written. A surrealist masterpiece. Honest." --Neil Gaiman, author of Sandman, American Gods and Fragile Things "Moomin is gorgeous, and is flat out the best Moomin book I've ever seen. Tove Jansson was a natural cartoonist. These strips are clever, gentle, witty, and completely engrossing." --Jeff Smith, cartoonist of Bone
