DIALOGUE IS HARD. I love it, I love writing banter between characters but when it comes to explaining something actually important to the audience and keeping it all true to the character and interesting to the reader (and fitting for the BUBBLES) at the same time, it's pretty hard. This scene shouldn't be a biggy but I'm nervous about future stuff, but we'll cross that bridge when it's there.
The doe on the first panel always speaks with Moominmamma's voice in my head when I write her.
I COMPLETELY FORGOT TO LINK THESE SWEET THINGS:

I'm a huge fan of the BBC English Moomins series aaaand now I can't unhear her voice when reading it! I think it's the whole "dears" part at the end that hits the particular brand of kind mother to everyone spot that moominmamma exhibits.
I think you do an awesome job on the dialogue! Also I've not mentioned it before but I like how you have the subtle comic boundary breaks in your pages so that rather than drawing to fit a frame, the frame fits your drawing... if that makes sense... eg like the ear from pale mr too-cool-for-you in the bottom panel.

Moominmamma has always been such a perfect mix of motherly softness and scary lack of concern towards her children flying to the sky on suspicious pink clouds. I love her!
Glad you like it, I've noticed there's a lack of characters breaking out of panels in later pages but I've started to pay attention to it again. Ogh too-cool. I love these makeshift names.

This exchange between mamma and papa works so well suddenly... Dorus just being like 8'| while his son is on a cloud busy chasing his shrike amiright?! Haaaa
