Just my luck, HM is now a firm fan of Little My. One of the first things I did when I found out I was pregnant was hit Books of Wonder for a set of Moomin books.

A few had already appeared, making her popular. But several left to go. So they ran in parallel. Oddly enough, the artist wrote the strip at the same time she was writing the books.

The day after I’ve been into Readers’ Feast to buy a copy of You Must Like Cricket! for my cricket mad Dad, and it has occurred to me I’ve been meaning to buy a copy of Finn Family Moomintroll for Boychild, because it’s a children’s book I have loved all my life, so I buy it, and today I visit Crooked Timber and find this post.

It's written strictly for adults, for one thing, and is humorous and satirical. There's less wisdom and lyricism. I think your expectations were all wrong, and so your dissappointed, but the strip is quite good too (IIRC). You have to take it for what it is. I don't think a condescension against the comics form has anything to do with it. The strip is very differnet from the books.
