[6/10 · 2 October 2019]

. . . "Olive" has NO clue as to Sweet Pea's sire by the time NURSE-MATES comes out. A female counterpart to the proverbial tar with a wench in every port, the acrobatic Olive has been stretching herself to allow wrenches access to every portal since the initial offering of "Popeye." By the time NURSE-MATES rolls around, Olive is adept at foisting off her first "love child" on a pair of its likely dads while lamely excusing herself to begin work on her second literal S.0.B. at what she euphemistically refers to as a "beauty shop." (Speaking of which, what IS the actual term for an all-male bordello?) NURSE-MATES proves that Sweet Pea is the sort of "Peck's Bad Boy" one would expect to have been issued by a wanton dame such as Olive. More than 40 episodes into her depredations upon the USA's noble sex, Olive has yet to set foot into a House of Worship. Instead, this wayward single mom hangs out in low-life dives, always on the prowl for potential new NURSE-MATES.
