Kappie

In the tradition of classic newspaper comic strips, Kappie is a gently surreal South African series from Stripstift that follows the quiet, whimsical life of its titular character in a world where everyday oddities are met with deadpan charm. Running in short, self-contained installments since 2013, the comic has built a devoted following for its minimalist linework and understated humor, with creator John W. Henry crafting a universe that feels both timeless and quietly subversive. Its nine-issue run has established Kappie as a distinctive voice in modern alternative comics, proving that a simple premise can yield rich, resonant storytelling.
