The Philatelist
A brief character in Moomin and the Comet, he is a direct reference to Mr. Hemulen's introduction scene in Comet in Moominland, a stamp collector who had his collection ruined from the evacuation and not caring much about the Comet itself, only lamenting his grief at the sudden disorganization of his precious stamps.
The Botanist
A one-off character from the comic Moominvalley Turns Jungle and then replaced by Mr. Hemulen in the 90s adaptation, he is a single-minded man who only cares to study the plants which had suddenly grown around Moominhouse. Once the man-eating... Things become a major point, he advocates that they're actually plants rather than the animals his rival claims them to be.

He’s gonna show me his stamp collection!
“But before Lennon travelled the globe playing music with The Beatles, this boy from Liverpool, England saw the world in a whole different way – through stamps.”
Given to him by his late cousin Stanley, John began collecting stamps in his Mercury stamp album at 10 years old, adding over hundreds of stamps to his collection. John continued to collect and trade stamps for several years after receiving this album and added his address of Mendips on the album’s flyleaf, along with the number of stamps collected.

They say the number 800 was perhaps John’s hoped-for stamp goal, although it doesn’t appear he reached that number.
Crazy to think that many years later, that young boy would change the world of music forever, and appear in stamps from all around the world!

FDR the Stamp Collector
Tumblr media
Franklin Roosevelt was an avid, lifelong stamp collector who gathered over 1.2 million stamps into his personal collection during the course of his life. He began collecting stamps at the age of eight at the suggestion of his mother, Sara Delano Roosevelt, who passed on her collection to him. This is the very first stamp album from the President’s collection. It includes a number of foreign stamps. Many members of the Delano side of FDR’s family were involved in overseas trade, and young Franklin consequently received a steady supply of foreign stamps from his Delano relatives that he carefully stored in this and other early stamp albums.
Tumblr media
After FDR's death, his personal stamp collection, including this album, was sold at public auction in 1946 in accordance with his wishes: https://fdr.artifacts.archives.gov/objects/33569
Join us throughout 2023 as we present #FDRtheCollector, featuring artifacts personally collected, purchased, or retained by Franklin Roosevelt, all from our Digital Artifact Collection.

We're finalizing the thank-you gifts for the Support StampEd fundraiser (which is live until March 31), but we thought you might enjoy seeing some of the designs that didn't make the cut in the meantime.

Do you want to be pen pals?
Tumblr media
Last month I went sailing around the Netherlands. I got the opportunity to explore a beautiful little island called Terschelling. I sent myself a postcard and I am soooo looking forward to received it 🤩🤩 Even though I write them to myself, it is always a surprise. The thing is, it doesn't matter if I remember what I wrote, I am not the same person that wrote that postcard. I have lived one second to much for everything to be the same.
I want to have people to write to! I want to share this with someone. I want to tell the things that I could not say at loud.
Who is in?? Send me a message :)

The Pisciculturist
A character replacing the role of Mr. Hemulen's cousin and the end role of Mr. Hemulen himself in Moomin and the Comet (an odd reimagining of Comet in Moominland in comic strip form), he is a pisciculturist looking to collect fish specimens wherever he can, but gets interrupted and grows to dislike Moomin, Snorkmaiden and Little My in particular. He gets swept up in a storm and huddles up with the Moomin family to brace for the Comet's impact, only to go outside for between after the Comet collided with a tsunami and created a big crater.
