Millie Week 65, Mon Dec 2 - Sat 7 Dec 1991

Strip four was a variation on an advert for the Royal Mail, (or was it the Post Office?) that was on the telly seemingly every fifteen minutes at the time. From what I remeber (I can't find it anywhere on YouTube) the set up was the same -  a tongue tied young suitor was on the phone unable to say the one thing he really wanted to say to the girl on the other end of the line. The last shot was of the girl getting a letter the next morning and reading: 'Did I say "fine"? I meant I love you.' Aww.

The very idea of a teenager writing something on paper and sending it in the post suddenly makes this strip as dated as a Victorian three volume novel.
