It could be that Winslow is originated from Winslow Oddfellow from the TV show, CatDog.
Let's look at the facts.
-Both are Blue
-Both are serious annoyances(Although in somewhat different ways)
-Both remain friends to the people around them(Catdog in CatDog, Marten, Faye and the rest in QC)
If this is old, sorry.
