The girl is non other than Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump, aka Pippi Longstocking! OMG, so sweet that you captured her!

Pippi is THE poster child of the punk movement, the anti-Shirley Temple. Astrid Lindgren wanted to create a child character to introduce the concept of dissent, especially against rules of society that children were taught to obey as the truth and never question… I’m guessing the 2×3=4 was Pippi mocking adult logic, her favorite target of rebellion was against adults…
