Reading these reminded me of sitting at the breakfast table and scrambling to get the newspaper's comics page before anyone else did, so that I could look through each strip in peace instead of having to make do with Finance or Sports. Tove Jansson's sense of humor is wonderful and certain punchlines seem to appear out of nowhere (in the best way possible). Savoring the stories and only reading one a morning has improved my pandemic breakfast quality by a tenfold.
