Millie week 17

More plot setting, and the first strip in which the two title characters don't appear.

When I wrote this I didn't have a car. I was also very very single.

In fact I didn't pass my driving test until I was 40. Both my parents were driving instructors - I think there was a tinge of parental rebellion in there, combined with a touch of holier-than-thou green activism. That and I couldn't honestly justify having a car when I could get anywhere I wanted by bike or train. I have a car and a driving licence now, and I hate myself for becoming too dependent on it.

In the second last frame we have our first glimpse of Sammi's dad's corner shop, which becomes one of the strip's regular locations.
