Comic Transcript

Greenish computer text, but this time against translucent overlays over a beach scene. In the background a large cartoonish-looking rocket is being hammered on by the Carpenter. In the foreground, and further from the ocean, stands the Walrus with a cane and barker's hat. He stands next to a sign which reads: "GLASS BOTTOM ROCKET TOURS / See the cosmos!". In front of him are some vaguely Oyster-looking aliens with antennae. In the extreme foreground another oyster with round glasses is watching the scene.

The text is in two blocks.
