The buddy storyline follows the friendship of seagull Ollie and lugworm Quentin.
King Features offers a detailed description of the setting and characters: The strip originated in the United Kingdom in 2002, with King Features introducing it to international syndication in early 2008.
Baker considers the strip "an homage to all the poor lugworms that he used as bait while sea fishing in his youth.
"[2] On 19 December 2011 Baker announced that the lack of newspaper interest had brought the syndicated strip to an end: The same day, King Features announced that the strip would begin online reruns in January 2012,[4] and the strip relaunch began January 9 as Ollie and Quentin Revisited.
[1] The strips were collected in the book Ollie and Quentin, published December 2011.
