Safe Havens is a fantasy comic strip by Bill Holbrook, launched on October 3, 1988, and initially set in a daycare center. In 1993 the preschool children began aging in real time, and the strip has followed them as they've moved through K-12, college and now young adulthood. The main character is Samantha Argus, a personable and enthusiastic young woman with the skills of a Mad Scientist who has unlocked the secrets of genetic manipulation. | |

Mr. Fanservice | |
| Safe Havens (Comic Strip) / int_1b4e322c | comment |
Mr. Fanservice: Before pairing with Jenny, Luis unintentionally won the hearts of two girls who already had boyfriends. When Dave asked Samantha why Jenny Egotistical of all people wanted Luis, all present females of every species shouted, "HE'S A TOTAL STUD!" May or may not be a case of Informed Attribute. | |

The Rival: Pretty much right from conception, Clay and Candide have always competed against each other in any way they can devise. That said, it's a friendly rivalry, and Clay has an apparent crush on Candide. | |

Artifact Title | |
| Safe Havens (Comic Strip) / int_2b7d29e1 | comment |
Artifact Title: For a while, anyway. Originally focusing on Safe Havens Daycare, it moved on to other schools with "Havens" in their names, and the main characters even started a band called Safe Havens. The band wasn't very central, and the "Safe" part still looked somewhat out of place. Nowadays, Samantha teaches at Havens University, and some of her friends' kids have enrolled in the daycare center. | |

Growing Up Sucks: Children lose their ability to talk to animals when they start behaving like adults, along with all memory of ever being able to do in the first place. The (most common) exceptions are veterinarians, who all universally retain it, and professional athletes. | |

Our Mermaids Are Different | |
| Safe Havens (Comic Strip) / int_7f152e56 | comment |
Our Mermaids Are Different: Remora reveals many qualities not found in most other works. For example, she can shapeshift into fully human or fully fish forms only up to 12 hours at a time, after which she transforms into the opposite form whether she wants to or not. It is also said that if a human saves a mermaid's life three times, they become a mermaid themselves, although exactly what qualifies as saving their life is Played for Laughs: Samantha found herself turned into a mermaid after something as simple as giving Remora a flotation ring for swimming practice. Remora's also more than 400 years old despite looking the same age as her (now former) classmates. | |

Retcon | |
| Safe Havens (Comic Strip) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: A 1989 strip featured Jenny talking about her brothers. Later strips, however, establish that she's an only child. The creator handwaved this by saying that her brothers were just her imagination. | |

Crippling the Competition | |
| Safe Havens (Comic Strip) / int_c9954979 | comment |
Crippling the Competition: During a basketball game, the opposing team's coach instructed one of his players to injure Dave on the knee that had already been injured to take him out. Unfortunately for them, Dave (who, for some context, wore a visor and headphones at this point of his life) had recorded the whole conversation. Once he and Samantha exposed it, both player and coach got kicked out of the sport, with the coach having to pay damages to Dave as well. The injury didn't keep Dave out too long, but it contributed to the weakening of his ligaments, leading to the end of his NBA dreams when they finally snapped (while he scored the NCAA championship winning point for Havens U, no less). He would eventually make a career in Europe. | |

Crossover | |
| Safe Havens (Comic Strip) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Frequently with On the Fastrack (see Shared Universe below). One noteworthy crossover in the early 2000s featured Rose Trellis of Fastrack and Samantha's mother both running for political office, with one sequence occurring simultaneously in both comics. Often caused continuity problems thanks to King Features' colorists, who did not remain consistent with crossover characters (e.g., Patina being a redhead in Fastrack but having brown hair in Havens). As the more unusual elements of Fastrack have faded away (while going up to eleven in Havens), the crossovers have dwindled. With the bulk of the Havens cast having spent three years in space, this trend seems set to continue. (Technically, the entire Mars mission is bankrolled by Fastrack, but in practice, this is represented by occasional appearances by Dethany on a monitor. It is never mentioned in Fastrack and may even be set in that strip's future, if a line Wendy says in Fastrack about how Rose really should tell Dethany about the Mars mission if she expects Dethany to lead it is any indication.) | |
