Millie Week 68, Mon 23 - Sat 28 Dec 1991

Two strips missing this week. One is because newspapers don't publish on Christmas Day in the UK. The other is from Boxing Day, and I obviously couldn't be bothered to go out and buy a newspaper on that day.

Here's the missing script...

1. CAPTION: THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS
Millie and her mother in the kitchen, wrapping Christmas presents. Mum is producing beautifully wrapped packages while Millie is having problems - she'sone of thsoe people that require three hands to wrap anything.
MILLIE: I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE WHAT I'M GOING TO GET FOR DAD THIS YEAR - HE'S SO DIFFICULT TO BUY FOR.

2. Mum gives her advice as she finishes tying the ribbon on a dainty little box.
MUM: THE BEST THING TO DO WITH PEOPLE LIKE THAT IS TO BUY THEM SOMETHING YOU'D LIKE YOURSELF.

3. Christmas morning by the tree. The family is unwrapping their presents. Dad has just unwrapped his one from Millie. It is a video. He's totally noneplussed by it but shows gratitude all the same. You know - the 'Genny's knitted me another hideous jumper; goodie!" kind of gratitude. Richard is laughing. Mum just looks up to heaven.
DAD: NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK LIVE IN MILWAUKEE - JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED...

Silly souind effect note: "FRANT" is a village just outside Tunbridge Wells.
