That hippo is incredibly expressive. This is a very elegant, very talented cartoonist!
Moomin trolls are shaped like hippos, but they are covered by soft white fur.
Lots of Janssons charachters are some kind of made-up fantasy creature, all living in a world full of detail.
I recommend looking into the books, these comics are only a tiny part of the franchise Jansson created, which is still huge in many parts of the world. She even turned down Walt Disney trying to buy her out, back in the day.
She passed in 2001, and the brand is still managed by her family.
