Beachcomber was a nom de plume used by surrealist humorous columnists D. B. Wyndham-Lewis and John Bingham Morton. "By the Way", written by Wyndham-Lewis and then by Morton, ran in the Daily Express for over 50 years. The column was revived in the early 1990s and continues today.

does anyone know who the current Beachcomber really is?
