Geez, I didn't expect that Moomin comics might need a [suicide] content warning.

According to Wikipedia, Tove Jansson was a Swedish speaking Finn, and it was published originally in Finland, albeit in Swedish.

I always heard it referred to as Finnish until now.

I find it funny that Moomintroll doesn't normally wear clothes, but dons a bathing suit to go swimming.
