Ollie and Quentin is a buddy comic about the unlikely friendship between a seagull and an adventurous lugworm. They treat us to their bird's eye and worm's eye views of the bizarre human world in which we live. Ollie and Quentin are best friends despite the obvious food chain disparity that suggests Ollie should be more interested in Quentin as a snack rather than as a friend. They both live in the pretty coastal town of Bigley Bay with Nobby, an affable single guy who serves as both foil and witness to their silly, mischievous high jinks.

British English to US English translation: “There’s a girl over there with a piece of candy stuck up her nose”

Why didn’t you just say that? After all this time I’d think you Brits would have learned to speak proper English. ;-) j/k

Having been ‘across the pond’ many times I understood the reference. Anybody know what the Brits mean when they say to ‘go over and knock her up’? My Brit son in law chose to enlighten me on that one!
