Why is it so many beautiful girls date pug-ugly guys?

Poor little Quentin thinks having antlers surgically attached to his head will give him greater sex appeal. He hopes that by looking like a stag he'll get a girlfriend.

The rest of us know that cosmetic surgery just makes you look ridiculous.

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...

Chucking stones into the sea is one of life's more simple pleasures. There's not much to aim at though so when an object floats past you've just gotta bombard it to hell.

How does Quentin hold things? Clever muscle control I guess.
In this case I just wanted to throw something big at him to see how he'd cope.

My lovely daughter Esme is an adrenelin junkie (like her mother) and loves the terrifying rides at theme parks. When she was little she'd get really upset when she stood next to these damn height chart things to discover she wasn't tall enough to ride the ride. She's now very tall (like her father) and has no problem. "No excuses now Dad!"

My sister has a couple of fantastic, clever, funny but naughty kids. Spook and Rosanna. I could do a whole cartoon strip based on them.

Really excited about this idea. I started thinking about black holes (as you do) and thought it would be fun to have one appear in Ollie and Quentin's kitchen. The more I thought about this the more I realised it had to be a gateway to a parallel universe where they could meet their parallel selves. All sorts of trouble will follow...
Watch this space!

Another of my favourites. I wrote this after watching Alien and thinking how much the alien that burst out of John Hurt's chest looked like a scarey version of Quentin. I'd also been thinking about how much Quentin looked like a sausage. It was just a case of putting the 2 jokes together. Made my nephew, Spook, laugh!
