If anyone wants to watch this, here's a compilation of how the 1990 TV show adapted the story:

Broadly the same, but differences like no zoologist Hemulen

@m_f@discuss.online Hey, Chekov's Hemulen kind of came true!

But is the sprout an animal or a plant?

I just want to say - always drop by here and enjoy reading the old moomin strips.

Thanks for posting them;

A real Hemulen Action Scientist doesn't let a little thing like being burned alive get in the way of a good specimen collecting!

How seasonally appropriate. (That is, for those of us who live in the temperate areas of the northern hemisphere.)

But still sad.

The tiger: House is attacked? I sleep. Sprayed with water? Real sh*t.

Gollum is a Groke, confirmed.

Gollum's looks are described a bit oddly in the books. Particularly in the earliest editions, which didn't mention that he was supposed to be small. So he had many different looks.

Interesting. I like the design of Gollum, but the Lester Abrams character design in the 1977 cartoon was the BEST adaptation IMO. Gollum and the goblins (orcs in the movies) were exceptionally well done.

This was my first introduction to The Hobbit back in the day! I'm looking forward to introducing my moomin-obsessed baby to this crossover in a few years.

Amazing. I'm going to cross-post this.

For those who don't mind occasionally visiting the EE, here are some really cool, unique Russian illustrations:

Probably thought the name came from golem.

Gollum reminds me of The Groke.

Last panel is definitely Chekhov's Hemulen. Also Stinky's up to no good

Ha ha, even in the Moominverse they get mistaken for hippos.

I think those panel dividers are my favorites yet.

The hippopotamus is no ignoramus, but the captain might be.
