comment |
On the Fastrack is a comic strip by Bill Holbrook (who also made Safe Havens and Kevin & Kell), launched by King Features Syndicate in 1984. Its tech-centered humor is set in the offices of Fastrack, Inc., a company that stores all the world's data. For most of its run, it has starred Wendy Welding, the executive assistant of the CEO and the person who actually keeps things running. Nowadays, more time is given to Dethany Dendrobia, the corporate goth. |

Good Is Not Nice |
| On the Fastrack (Comic Strip) / int_21f3aa44 |
comment |
Good is Not Nice: Percy and Thrip don't like to admit it, but they attack technology in order to inspire humans to make it better. They have occasionally attempted drastic measures like dropping a heavy computer on an engineer. Another example could be Fistula Breech. |

May–December Romance |
| On the Fastrack (Comic Strip) / int_234fa9ba |
comment |
May–December Romance: The marriage of Mark (younger) and Ada (older), to the initial consternation of Ada's children. The fact that Ada is black and Mark is white doesn't even come up. Percy is tens of thousands of years old, while Autocorrect is, well, younger than many readers. |

Millennium Bug |
| On the Fastrack (Comic Strip) / int_313598b7 |
comment |
Millennium Bug: Percy was introduced as "The Year 2000 Bug," equipped with an hourglass and a scythe. After the Turn of the Millennium, he usually went by "the Bug," until he divulged that the ancients called him Perseus. (He initially objected to the nickname Percy, but it's grown on him.) |

Out of Focus |
| On the Fastrack (Comic Strip) / int_32da91b8 |
comment |
Out of Focus: Bob Shirt, former protagonist. An intentional example: According to the creator, the character "turned out to be so boring that the strip survived only by moving the spotlight away from him." His girlfriend Melody has been even more out of focus. The Moat Monster as well, but for a different reason: The cartoonist wants to move away from some of the more bizarre elements that may distract readers who came for other things. As Dethany's Mailbox explains, with more of the fantasy elements moved into cyberspace (e.g., Dethany's unicorn avatar), the "real-life" fantasy elements have been de-emphasized. The Moat Monster still exists, but in the form of a human with green hair. Has been happening with Wendy since Dethany's introduction. |

Put on a Bus: Happens every so often, as we might expect from a comic that has run since 1984 without the rule of Status Quo Is God. One interesting example: Meg the Cyber Dog, who was getting old for software if not for a dog, got saved to a disk and hasn't been seen since. |

The Nameless: Fi has yet to identify her assistant by name. Maybe she never quite caught it in his flash flood of words. |

Sour Supporter: For all her unfriendliness, Fi does help Dethany in some big ways, including lending a temporary home. |

No Periods, Period: Averted. Patina Welding gets her first one, much to her father's embarrassment as he's asked to shop accordingly. |

comment |
Our Dragons Are Different: The Moat Monster is rarely even identified as a dragon, though she certainly has the key trappings of one. One difference is her Shapeshifting. |

Crossover |

comment |
Crossover: Frequently with Safe Havens (see Shared Universe below). One noteworthy crossover in the early 2000s involved Rose Trellis and Jeanine Argus running for political office simultaneously, with scenes taking place in sequence in both comics. |

Art started the comic as a Jerkass, but for decades, his defining attributes have been laziness and technical ineptitude. |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: When Percy and Thrip (at least back in her computer bug days) wreak havoc on technology, it's secretly an attempt to get humans to improve it. |

Pet the Dog: Fistula despises the air Dethany breathes, but when she finds that Dethany's going to use tax preparation software, she voluntarily goes through and does Dethany's taxes, saving her a lot of money, and has to be persuaded to accept pay for the work she did. |
