I’ve never had any knowledge of where [Pippi Longstocking] came from…until I saw Drawn &amp; Quarterly’s new edition of the classic Pippi comics in &#39;Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Won’t Grow Up&#39;. The fact that she found early expression in comics is just the ultimate icing on the cake for me. I should have suspected, given her absolutely anti-authoritarian riot of behavior that comics might have been part of her legacy.
