It really has been a while since we’ve seen the Middlemans, the family that runs the textile campsite “Spoonbill heights” on Greyfriar’s Isle. Their campsite has never actually been shown, but it's upscale and sports-oriented. The characters are Jonathan Middelman, his wife Tippe, their son Dexter and their daughter Meya.
Greyfriar’s Isle
By
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!

I'm sure that for every Planet Nude reader who knew Greyfriar's Isle from before it arrived on Planet Nude, there are five to ten who only know the comic through Planet Nude and have not seen the Middelman family before. To help introduce them properly, I have started a rerun series on my own Substack: "From the Greyfriar's Isle Archives" with new episodes posting every day. Two episodes are live already at https://reinderdijkhuis.substack.com/
I too like his shirt. A little Piet Mondrian action going there. It would fit in with my clothing philosophy: If I have to wear clothes, and I generally do, I might as well wear something which looks good.
