It seems that not unlike how the extra characters in Lewis Carroll’s Alice books are mad by obligation, every extra character in the Moominverse is similarly a weirdo, by obligation.

Kinda reminds me of Philip K. Dick’s Clans of the Alphane Moon, in which everyone in the colony has a discrete mental illness.

That’s really sad.

Is this comic (the entire series, not just this particular strip,) supposed to be a serial, or funny? I have yet to be able to tell and I have been seeing a new (to me) one every few days for a couple of years now.
