On the Fastrack

On the Fastrack is a comic strip drawn by Bill Holbrook about the curious characters employed at the fictional Fastrack, Inc. Launched March 19, 1984, it was initially distributed by King Features Syndicate to 50 newspapers worldwide, later increasing to 75 papers. King Features offers this summary of the strip:

For the first 18 years of its publication, the comic characters aged very slowly, but on early 2002, Holbrook explicitly switched to a real time format, like its companion strip Safe Havens, which shares some of its characters.

The strip was originally about Bob Shirt, Melody Acapella, Melody’s daughter Laurel, Art Welding, Bud Spore (their immediate supervisor, then age 17) and Rose. Bob and Melody still appear occasionally, since Melody runs the company day care center where Patina and Rusty spend their after-school hours.
