Wait, what?? Moomin isn't Moomin Papa's and Moomin Mama's biological child? my childhood!
You'll want to hold your breath on that one.
The comics are unrelated to the other version.
As far as i understand it the characters are used like caricature puppets. I believe all comics that are a umbrella title are one contained canon (this is page 4/68 of a single comic). But the next comic under another title may impose something entirely different using the same characters.
They are also much darker and critical.
