Really excited to be chatting to the guys at <a href="http://comicscoasttocoast.com/" target="_blank">Comics Coast To Coast</a> tonight. Very flattered to be invited onto the show. If I don't make a fool of myself I'll post a link to the recording in the next few days.</div>

This month Ollie and Quentin begin their run in Winchester Today! There are a couple of nice articles on their <a href="http://www.winchestertoday.co.uk/" target="_blank">website</a>. Editor Kevin Gover has written a nice introduction <a href="http://www.winchestertoday.co.uk/2014/11/introducing-winchester-todays-new-cartoonist/" target="_blank">here</a> and you can read my Q&A session <a href="http://www.winchestertoday.co.uk/2014/11/qa-cartoonist-piers-baker/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I'm really excited British newspaper readers will now get a chance to read Ollie and Quentin. I have long believed my comic will go down well in the UK. Here's to a new chapter in their funny little lives!<br />

Today's <a href="http://www.gocomics.com/ollie-and-quentin" target="_blank">Ollie and Quentin comic on GoComics</a> is probably the riskiest I ever got through. Glad it did because it's one of my favourites.<br />
<br />
You can read my comic every day <a href="http://www.gocomics.com/ollie-and-quentin" target="_blank">here</a>. It's free and there are loads of other strips too. Some are nearly as funny as mine! I highly recommend "Bewley" by Anthony Blades. It's British and hilarious.<br />
<br />
So go on, visit <a href="http://www.gocomics.com/ollie-and-quentin" target="_blank">GoComics</a> and subscribe to Ollie and Quentin. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">A difference between newspapers and the web is what's deemed acceptable. The 'Warm Patch' comic above was allowed in newspapers but the 'Twinkle' one wasn't. Both are pretty tame INMHO. In fact I would say the 'Warm Patch' comic is ruder.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">I love my comic being on <a _mce_href="http://www.gocomics.com/ollie-and-quentin" href="http://www.gocomics.com/ollie-and-quentin" style="color: #0066cc; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 1.5;" target="_blank" title="GoComics.com">GoComics.com</a>. The comments Ollie and Quentin have been receiving are great and it's brilliant to see that people are actually reading my strip. Newspaper syndication was a dream of mine but it meant I received little feedback from readers. This online presence means I do, every day. I created a comic for readers to enjoy, I didn't do it to earn my fortune. With 2 million readers a day visiting GoComics I finally feel Ollie and Quentin is where it should be... in front of an enthusiastic audience and in glorious full colour. Hooray!</span></div>
