Jan, Jans en de kinderen in Suriname

In this 2011 one-shot from the Leprastichting, Jan Kruis—the creator of the long-running Dutch family strip Jan, Jans en de kinderen—takes the beloved characters on a special journey to Suriname. The issue blends the series’ signature gentle humor with an educational focus, highlighting the work of the Leprosy Foundation in the country. As both writer and artist, Kruis brings his warm, recognizable style to a story that matters for its unique charitable purpose and cultural setting, standing apart from the main series’ domestic adventures.
