Article 430a is the article in the Dutch penal code that governs where nude recreation can and cannot take place. For an explanation in Dutch, visit the website of the NFN: Artikel 430a.
I may actually need a longer break, and/or to permanently drop the frequency back down to 1 a month. I don't like the idea because it will make the storytelling pace absolutely glacial, but right now I have too much on my plate and comic work may have to take a back seat. I haven't made up my mind yet but I'm thinking about it.

Greyfriar’s Isle is a comic about an island and the people who live there. A small family runs Marsh Light, a naturist campsite connected to the beach where locals and tourists spend their vacation time. The island is historically friendly to naturism, but not universally so. Also, there are ghosts and strange, eldritch island customs.
Greyfriar’s Isle is inspired by the comics I read in my youth, by the real-world island experiences I had in my youth, my ideas about what naturism should be and the stories naturists tell each other about themselves.
New episodes come out on the first and third Wednesday of every month! 🪐
