Smörbukk [Smørbukk] #2016

In this delightfully absurd 2016 installment of Smørbukk [Smørbukk], the titular character loses his clothes while attempting ice swimming, leading to a chaotic dash through the village—complete with a ride on a goat—before accidentally donning the royal attire. Written by Johannes Farestveit and illustrated with whimsical precision by Solveig Muren Sanden, the story finds Smørbukk unexpectedly teaming up with his goat to triumph in an amateur competition. The cover, by Håkon Aasnes, captures the scene’s chaotic charm with a touch of Nordic humor.
