Today's respondent should've been the first, because he's the title character. So: Meet Moomintroll! Even two of them, classical and 1969/72 one (complete with some cameos).

Today we'll find out the culinary preferences of Snufkins from 1990 and 2019 series:

Today it's Joxter's turn to answer the poll. If he deigns to answer, that is.

Today's answer is from Snufkin (1972):

A new seasonal menu at your local Moominalds'!

And below is the exit poll. Today's interviewee is 1969's Snufkin.

A bunch of hattifatteners to try various markers and gel pens.

Also, google says 11th day of each month is a Hattifattener Day in the Moomin Park in Finland, so--

Later (today or whenever) I'll come with another hattifattener-flavoured project

And a couple of illustrations (metaphorical, not literal) to my fic abt the two Snufkins (and why Moominvalley folks believe there's just one) at AO3.

One day I'll stop making Western edits of Moomin 1969 starring badass Snufkin'69. But not today. Big Iron by Marty Robbins is too perfect for him.

Today's Showa Era Day in Japan (昭和の日), which somehow turned for some Moomin fans into celebration of the 1969/1972 series and specifically of the two Snufkins (I adore the joint term for them among Japanese audience: 昭和組 / ~Team Showa).

So today I'm going to spawn some dedicated posts. Starting with a lil comic abt the two.

(Yeah, Shin Moomin is basically the second season of Moomin, but... The Snufkins '69 and '72 are too damn different to be the same person. No wonder folks universally see them as two separate characters. )

And I find it especially adorable how Snufkin'72 hasn't caught a single fish through all his screentime with a fishing rod. Snufkin'69 must absolutely poke fun at him for that.

But Snufkin'72 has something to retaliate...

A minute of appreciation of 1969/1972 Little My, an obnoxious, loud, cowardly, gossip-mongering, spoiled brat not immune to romantics. As episodes flew by, I've got used to her not being the same gremlin as in other media.

And it was rather amusing to see her in the same colour scheme as Snufkin. Did the creators try to retain the siblings air in the absence of Joxter and Mymble Sr in the plot? Well, sometimes it got an air of a dad and his out-of-wedlock daughter...

And when Little My loses hair to the magic hat in the first episode of 1969 series, she becomes such a carbon copy of him.
