I love the idea of introducing new words into the language. (As a child I was convinced "Grotty" was invented by my mum). Sadly I didn't have the imagination to come up with my own so thanks to www.boredatuni.com for these. Visit their site for translations. I hope it helps that they'll be published in newspapers around the UK. I don't think they're too rude.

In memory of Ann Denny's father Bill ("You Daft Bugger Piers") who used a similar line "I'm 78, the best I can do is amble for it".

We discover Quentin's surname.

I was thinking about what role Quentin could have in the house. The most ridiculous job I could think of was 'Guardworm'- in charge of security. This 'pencil' strip gives him the idea. I thought he'd take his responsibilities far too seriously and drive Ollie and Nobby crazy. He'd demand to see security passes at every opportunity etc. Does your company have security staff like this? They recognise you but still demand to see your pass.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to meet yourself? Would you like you? I have a feeling I might not recognise myself.

All I did here was imagine what it must be like crawling everywhere. And worms are slimy and juicy too, a bit like a tongue.
Yes, I know a lugworm doesn't have a belly button!

You know that feeling when you're sunburnt, you don't want anyone to come near you and you're radiating heat...
