I love it that Moomin’s exclamations mostly come from comic books. I’ve heard him say in all seriousness:

- For Pete’s sake!
- What the . . . !
- Good grief!
- My stars!
- Suffering sharks! (Um, thanks, Aqualad)
- Holy mackerel!
- Holy smokes!
- In a jiffy!

There are more – all Silver Age wonders. Way better than him picking up on my own constant stream of boring profanity!
