Moomins forever, but more than that, even: Tove Jansson forever. Thank you so much for the link to Brazen -- gonna figure out how to get my hands on it right this moment.

I've learnt a lot about Jansson's life! I think Brazen will be easy to find in the US, as it got an Eisner award in 2019. Bagieu had to expunge the nudity from her book to sell it there - which she saw as a necessary nuisance to get the book in the hands of US children.

My library system has it so I put it on hold. (What is it with Americans and nudity?! Surely harkens back to our uptight Puritan roots, but I've never understood it.)

I loved Cherise too!! Reading your comments made me revisit the whole show in my head.

That scene eclipsed the whole Mac/Rob storyline in my head for a while 💙🎸

I love getting a peek into what you think about! I’ve never heard of High Fidelity but that moment you described is such rich characterization, wow...I’ll be thinking about that for awhile. Thanks for sharing.
