As apparent from the previous strips, Newt and I were building toward a much bigger story with the Chocolate Wars which is where the new series will begin. I&#8217;ve plotted out the first 96 episodes and Newt is eager to get drawing.  Site and exact timetable to be determined, but expect a new <span style=\"font-style: italic\">KandyLand<\/span> sometime this spring.
