Na die publikasie van die grafiese roman Moord in Ixia Straat in 2017, teater sukses in 2018, en die Thundafund campaign in 2019, werk ons tans aan ‘n LEGO stopframe animasie reeks. Voorlopige titel DARKLANDS. Vrystelling van die eerste episode is beplan vir 2022.

Elke avontuur begin met ‘n terugslag of twee, om ons helde wakker te laat skrik!

Ons het nie die keer ons teiken bereik met die Thundafund nie, maar ons het klaar weer opgestaan, ons klere afgestof en kyk reeds na nuwe moontlikhede hoe om Kampsbaai Kaperjolle die mees befokste afrikaanse comic te maak wat jy nog in jou hande vasgehou het!

Dankie aan al die helde wat ons ondersteun het, julle is befok!
