Animation is a beautiful way to transport strangers into a dreamer’s world of color, imagination and infinite possibilities and the folk at Spoof Animation Studios have done just that. Premiered at the recently ended Lagos Comic-Con, Ayodele Elegba’s Strike Guard comic couldn’t be more alive. The almost 9-minute concept short is a direct adaptation of
