Oy Moomin Characters, Ltd.
Growing up in the center of the collaboration of efforts between her aunt and father, Jansson gained an intimate window into the creative processes behind the Moomin comic strip series. As Tove's efforts became directed more at writing and the strip's production became more the effort of her father, Jansson became an active help in management of the visual aspects of Moomin as an intellectual property.
In 1979, Lars Jansson founded the limited liability company, Oy Moomin Characters, Ltd., now headed by Christer Timgren. According to a 2004 article in the Finnish business magazine Talouselämä, Oy Moomin Characters, Ltd. is Finland's most cost-effective business, with some 80 Moomin licences in Finland and almost 300 abroad. It has been listed as among the top Creative Export Companies of Finland in 2007.
Since 1993, Jansson, together with her father, has managed the production of a new series of Moomin strips which Jansson now manages solely.
In 2006 Jansson took the role of director in the release of the CD, Muumipeikko ja Pyrstötähti.
In 2008, the rediscovery by Jansson of the manuscript for "The King in Moominland" (a TV script written by Tove and Lars in the late 60s) made news as the resulting musical performed at the Åbo Svenska Teater represented the first performance of this "lost episode" in decades.
