Millie dailies coming soon...

On Saturday September 1st, 1990 this appeared on the front page of the Daily Mirror. It would be the first and last time that Millie would be front page news.

And what was on Page 22? You've seen it already. This.

This Saturday marks the 21st anniversary of Millie's start as a daily strip and I'll be reposting them on Saturdays and Sundays in blocks of three, so you'll get a week's worth every weekend.

Not only that, I'll be scanning the cartoons in from the syndication sheets, so you'll be able to see Roger's fantastic artwork in all the clarity it deserves, rather than in the primitive blurry colour that was the best newspapers could manage at the time.

I'll also be posting some of the original scripts and outtakes that never made it to publication. There will be a lot of those in the first couple of weeks - my ideas for the first week of the strip and those of the Editor differed wildly...
