Hundraettåringen som smet från notan och försvann (Felix & Måns Herngren, 2016)

The 101-Year-Old Man Who Skipped out on the Bill and Disappeared follows the further adventures of centenarian Allan Karlsson and his entourage as they go on a hunt for the formula for the world's best soda, which he lost some forty years before while still a double agent for the Americans and the Soviets. Cue flashbacks to the 'seventies, with characters such as Brezhnev and Nixon, in between scooting around from city to city in the modern day to the incessant accompaniment of a parping Kusturicaesque soundtrack. The comedy is as broad as before and its insistence on the hilarity of the proceedings grates at times, but, just as before, its blithe irreverence for decorum and daftness ultimately save the day.
