Let's start the new year off properly. With some Moomin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUhUkHHzmbQ (Feel free to substitute in whichever language version of the intro you prefer.) Double dose, because I didn't have time to scan them yesterday. And Moomin dealing with his house being occupied by his poor relations seems like a good fit for the current season.   e: is the size alright with everyone? 1000px width should be enough to fit on pretty much anything nowadays. And I really don't want to make them so small the details go away. Because there are so many tiny lovely details everywhere. SubNat fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Jan 2, 2020 |

Endless Mike posted:The size is fine, but maybe use timg to post? That's how I do Star Wars which will return tonight! Yeah, I guess I'll timg it in future posts. As for papa and mamma, this is Moomin's dark origin story, before he met them. The family is such a central part of everything that it feels weird not to have them around yet though.

Yeah, looks like a quick +50 brightness, +50 contrast puts it roughly at that spot. Pushing it a bit further also cleans out the ghosting from the other side of the sheet, too.   Better, or too stark? Judging it on a terrible laptop that prioritized 144hz over decent black levels and contrast is a bit hard.

Moomin and the brigands  Atleast it'll be a while until I run out. Though I have to say, as I leafed through the stories again while scanning them. The stories seem a bit meandering until vol2, where they start getting a bit more focused, and shorter. I imagine it has a decent bit to do with getting used to the format, and having a more established setting to do some of the heavy lifting.

Moomin and the brigands The first few stories feel rather strange in a way, they're kind of unfocused and meandering, as if it's all just a long, surreal dream sequence. If you hop between vol 1 and 3 there's a pretty major change in how focused and concise the stories are.

Archyduchess posted:Barnaby (May 2nd-May 7th, 1942) I remember the last time it was posted, it's nice to see it again. But I'm just never able to get over just how perfectly clean the entire thing is drawn. Just the constant, near perfect linework that makes it seem like a cut-and-paste vector based comic from this century. Despite being a generation prior, and the product of a -lot- of work and skill, I assume. It's vaguely eerie in a way I just can't really express.

Moomin and his poor relations I've always had a soft spot for Hattifnatter, they strike me as a kind of mostly-benign animal that people are terrified of. Though I guess much like the Groke/Hufsa, people were terrified of them due to how they were presented in the series. I had a friend who was still utterly terrified of the Groke even when she was in highschool. (Though it probably didn't didn't help that I once taped a giant Groke paper cutout to her window, left it open one winter evening, and got her to pull apart the curtains to check why it was so cold in the room.  )

Lodin posted:I do love how Tove Jansson said gently caress it and completely retconned the whole Moomin universe for the newspaper strips. Involvement? Her name is on each strip. As I understand it's just her and her brother Lars who made these, with Lars taking over at some point later on. But yeah, I can understand why she did a retcon/reboot for this though, as this comic series was for a british newspaper, where people might not have been familiar with Moomin at all, previously. After the first couple of stories the strip settles into the same status quo of the books though. (Apparently she did a strip of Comet in Moominland for a swedish newspaper some years prior, but the Moomins were rejected for being too bourgeouise.)  Look at that tiny moomin.  I don't suppose anyone has this? Seems like it went out of print a great while ago.

Kennel posted:Looks like my local library has a copy of the English version (as well as Swedish and Finnish) It seems mine does not. Is there any chance you could borrow it and scan/photograph them? It would be very interesting to see those strips in action, especially since they were made like a decade before the strips I've been posting. Lodin posted:Falk is still on every Phantom strip so that doesn't mean much, but yeah. Fun facts. That is true. Though she did work on these directly, as Falk used to do on Phantom in the old days.

Kennel posted:Can do. Remind me in few weeks if I forgot (my sleeping schedule is silly, so they often close before I get off the work). Nice, that's great. I've still got 11 more stories to post once Family Life is done, but it would be fun to sneak in 'Story #0' in between some of them as an intermission of sorts.

ikanreed posted:Why did the art for this bad comic get worse? As you can see by the CLEAR LACK of character growth and development (ie the lack of Rita's ICONIC water bottle) this is obviously an older comic. As to why we're being punished with additional, older strips of Working Daze, I have no idea.

Ah gently caress, I'm an idiot. Parsed your question the wrong way. But yeah, I imagine it's mostly that the artist on the new one isn't particularly skilled and/or doesn't give a poo poo. These comic pairings with 1 dedicated artist and 1 dedicated writer are so strange, considering how many really good comics manage to somehow have 1 person do both.

Kennel posted:
If we stagger it a bit, I'll be done posting Moomin + Family Life and Moomin on the Riviera in 32 days. (10 until I'm done posting Family Life.) If you started posting it then we could have just 1 moomin story running at a time, having it run as an intermission of sorts. As for posting random stories out of order, my opinion is to just do them chronologically. I remember there being a bit of a mess of 'wait which stories have been posted?' anytime someone wanted to post Moomin in the past. Since a couple stories just got posted out of order.
