Tuulikki Pietilä
Professor Tuulikki Pietilä (1917-2009) was a Finnish graphic artist. She was one of the most important influencers of Finnish art graphics, participating in numerous art exhibitions and acting e.g. as a teacher at the School of the Academy of Arts. In 1956, she met her future life partner, Tove Jansson, with whom she did several jobs and projects. Tuulikki Pietilä is known to have been a role model for Tove Jansson's energetic and fast-paced Too-ticky character.
Characters
Too-Ticky
Too-Ticky is a wise and helpful friend of the Moomins. Unlike most of the inhabitants of Moominvalley, she doesn’t hibernate. Too-Ticky is skilled at solving problems, and she is quite perky by nature. Too-Ticky spends her winters in the Moomin bath house, with invisible shrews to keep her company! Too-Ticky believes that everyone learns through their experiences and mistakes. She likes repairing things. Too-Ticky wears a striped shirt, dark trousers and a cap with a tussle. She first appeared in Tove Jansson’s novel Moominland Midwinter.
