When we last left our shipwrecked pal Squid, he was gathering driftwood planks for firewood. But fate would soon intervene. As the roar of an approaching airplane grew louder, he scrambled to arrange the planks to form a distress signal.

Unfortunately, in his hurry it was misspelled “HEPL” and the plane flew past. Thus Squid remained on the island to practice his spelling and perfect his accidental font.

Years later we brought him back to civilization where Beachcomber was reassembled into a handy digital format. Now you too can enjoy Beachcomber without the smell of rotting fish and all those pesky splinters!
