Premise: Comet in Moominland (Swedish: "Kometjakten" / "Mumintrollet på kometjakt" / "Kometen kommer") is the second in Tove Jansson's series of Moomin books. Published in 1946, it marks the first appearance of several main characters, like Snufkin and the Snork Maiden.
Hypothesis: Snufkin was not the only main character in Comet in Moominland, which was published before 1950.
