Millie Week 78: Mon 2 - Sat 7 March 1992

This week was written to order, after The Daily Mirror decided they wanted more of the parents in the strip, and asked me to define their characters a bit more.

Carry on Senior Obstetrician was never made, as the Carry On series of films stuttered to an end in the late 70s. But it was only a matter of time before they got around to it, having already produced Carry On Nurse, Carry On Doctor, Carry On Again Doctor and Carry On Matron.

The last strip defines one of the major contradictions of that time - the strictest parents tended to be the ex-hippies. You would have thought they would have been happy to see the flowering of the second Summer of Love. (Actually, by 1992, we must have been at around the sixth Summer of Love, and Grunge was waiting around the corner to kill it off with a combination of checked shirts and adolescent whining.)
