Sista delen av Mumin: Tove Janssons samlade serier innehåller tre berättelser: en där det åter är vinter i Mumindalen, vilket främst innebär att några besvärliga typer flyttar in, en där Muminpappans memoarer återberättas fast med hela familjen, samt en om Klått-djurets (Rådd-djurets son) frieri till Mymlan, komplicerat av en psykiatriker.

Det är inte den bästa uppsättningen serier, även om Frökens Fluffins, som under protester om att hon inte vill tränga sig på eller vara till besvär gör just detta, är en bra figur. Sjöfärden är heller inte oäven, även om en hel del material är hämtat direkt från böckerna. Den avslutande berättelsen är dock rätt svag, förutom det att den prillige psykiatrikern är hyfsat rolig.

Nej, detta var nog den svagaste av samlingsalbumen. ( )

I think every Nordic person has Mumintrollen living somewhere in their heart, and although these books are translated into English and it's a little bit harder to "hear" their Finnish-accented Swedish, they are still as fantastic as I remember them. Muminpappa cherishes his crazy adventures, Muminmamma her home and hearth, Snorkfröken her romances, and Mumin himself just wants everyone to be happy and get along. Different as they are, they have one over-riding goal in common: to have fun! The ultimate in anarchy, you just can't help but admire their guts and gusto and their complete devotion to each other. Or, as the character Stinky puts it, "Indeed you are the most idiotic family I ever saw - but you are at least living every minute of the day!!"

Unfortunately, this edition of book 5 has been sloppily edited - in two places there are strips inserted that are duplicates of the panels from different stories and so the strips that were supposed to be there are missing. I'm surprised that the publisher didn’t fix this blatant error; at the very least they could have put a supplement in the book with the missing panels. As it is now, this is not a "Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip."

ETA: I've been informed that the book now comes with stickers to correct the missing panels - not an attractive solution, but definitely much better than no correction. ( )
