GUY'S AVATAR

5/13: Guy has such a rich imagination; he needs something creative for his online persona. Today’s strip

May 13th

MOTHER'S DAY

5/12: Once Mother broke off the interrogation about my future with Guy, we actually had a cordial brunch. This is actually the downside to being in a serious relationship with someone of whom Mother approves; she never asked about these things when I was dating Syd. Today’s strip

ALPHABET SOUP

5/11: Of course I was the one who had to clean it up. Today’s strip

May 11th

THE CORRECTIONS

5/10: Oops, that almost blew the Autocorrect’s cover. Today’s strip

May 10th

DRINK ORDER

5/9: I wish them well, but I just hope Autocorrect knows what she’s getting into. Today’s strip

May 9th

PHISHING DISGUISE

If malware was actually smart we’d all be in trouble. Today’s strip

May 8th

WRETCHED HIVE

5/7: I’ve visited the Malware Cafe (while undercover) and it’s true; they’re not allowed to use their powers. However, it was due to the Bug that the rule was put in place! Today’s strip

May 7th

BUG'S SOFTER SIDE

5/6: Here’s an unexpected development. I think the Bug likes her. Today’s strip

May 6th

MORNING

5/5: Of course the minute the Bug is free he starts causing trouble. Making up for lost time, I guess. Today’s strip

May 5th

UNINVITED GUEST

5/4: So the Computer Bug has chosen my home as his base of operations. I feel so…honored. :p Thrip, who inhabits my Smartphone, isn’t thrilled, either. Today’s strip

May 4th

MIRROR SITE

5/3: I knew the Bug couldn’t win a fair fight, so I suggested a bit of trickery… Today’s strip

May 3rd

ONE ON ONE

5/2: The battle is joined. And, as usual in any physical confrontation, the Bug is getting his butt kicked. Direct conflict has never been his strong suit. Today’s strip

May 2nd

ENEMY OF MY ENEMY

5/1: I knew I’d never be able to entrap the Bug forever, but I’d hoped I could slow him down for longer than this. However, right now this berserk Autocorrect is more of a threat. Today’s strip

May 1st

SPELLING DISASTER

4/30: The autocorrect has gone rouge! I mean, rough! I mean, rogue! Today’s strip

Apr 30th

OUT OF CONTROL AUTOCORRECT

4/29: This spells tribble. Today’s strip

Apr 29th

OZYMANDIAS

Windows 3.1, XP, Vista…I’ve seen them all come and go. Today’s strip

Apr 28th

SECOND JOB

4/27: I spent all last weekend bringing organization to Daddy’s business and putting him on a salary. From this point on it will be a matter of spending my Saturday afternoons updating spreadsheets for him, so that won’t interfere with my work for Wendy. Today’s strip

Apr 27th

ORGANIZING

4/26: Lenore can’t read, of course, but she used some mysterious sorting process (possibly visual) that grouped all of Daddy’s records into the appropriate stacks. Today’s strip

Apr 26th

ACCOUNTING STRATEGY

4/25: The more I find out, the more I’m amazed that he’s stayed solvent this long. Today’s strip

Apr 25th

UNHOSTILE TAKEOVER

4/24: Ms. Trellis was right. The threat of her taking over was the only thing that was going to propel Daddy to hand over his finances to me. Today’s strip

Apr 24th

IN PLAIN SIGHT

4/23: Ms. Trellis doesn’t have a hidden agenda. Her cynical machinations are completely obvious and cheerfully out in the open. Today’s strip

Apr 23rd

FITTING RIGHT IN

4/22: At this point I’m not sure where Ms. Trellis is going with this. I must remember, though, the point of this lunch was that she considered me a possible threat. Today’s strip

Apr 22nd

FAMILY NICKNAME

4/19: I’ve never, ever told anyone outside my family that Daddy’s nickname for me is Punkin. Ms. Trellis is frightening in her ability to figure out these things. Today’s strip

Apr 19th

FATHER'S BUSINESS

4/18: I’m taking a risk by telling Ms. Trellis about my father’s business and my personal goals for it. I figure if I didn’t say, she’d find out anyway. Today’s strip

Apr 18th

CONFRONTATION

4/17: So Ms. Trellis sees my obvious ambitions as a threat to her ownership of Fastrack. I’m not, but admitting my true goals to her would put something else at risk. Today’s strip

Apr 17th

THIRD DEGREE

4/16: I should’ve seen this coming. Ms. Trellis never invites one to lunch for a friendly chat. The interrogation has begun. Today’s strip

Apr 16th

LUNCH W/MS. TRELLIS

4/15: Yes, that is indeed the flower I’m using as my Facebook profile picture. Rose invited (ordered) me to have lunch with her, so I dressed in an outfit she bought for me last year to go to a high-end place like this. Today’s strip

Apr 15th

TROLLING

4/14: I’ve had long experience with trolls. This strategy isn’t very satisfying, but it’s the only one that works. Today’s strip

Apr 14th

MOVIE THEATER

Plus, I keep the house clean so the floors aren’t sticky. :) Today’s strip

Apr 13th

VERSATILITY

4/12: Bud’s always proud of the system’s security. Meanwhile, Lenore was in much better spirits this morning, or perhaps she’s putting on a brave beak. Today’s strip

Apr 12th

COMFORT FOOD

4/11: Lenore and I stayed up late watching bird movies like “Winged Migration.” She needed company. Today’s strip

Apr 11th

IMAGINARY RAVEN

I had no idea someone would stoop this low. Today’s strip

Apr 10th

MOMMY RAVEN

Since Lenore isn’t yet of reproductive age, this behavior is more like “playing house.” Today’s strip

Apr 9th

RAVEN MATING

4/8: Even though Lenore is a young raven and not fully grown, one can see how much she craves a relationship. Today’s strip

Apr 8th

PINCH ZOOM

4/7: Even though I have 20/20 vision there are times when I reflexively do the same thing. TODAY’S STRIP

Apr 7th

VOICE TO TEXT

4/6: I will admit, they’re getting better. Today’s strip

Apr 6th

GOOGLE RANK

4/5: Thanks to everyone who has helped raise my stature in Ms. Trellis’s eyes by linking to onthefastrack.com. :) Today’s strip

Apr 5th

HIGH SCHOOL CLIQUES

4/4: Havens High School had a highly structured system of cliques. While the Goth/Geek ambiguity ended up being fine for me, occasionally I’ve wondered if I truly belonged in the “Other” Clique (the ones who fell into no category). Today’s strip

Apr 4th

PASSWORD CHALLENGE

4/3: Knowing Bud, his imaginary online girlfriend is probably his wife Chelonia. Today’s strip

Apr 3rd

WIPEOUT

4/2: I know the Bug’s imprisonment is only temporary but, boy, I’m enjoying this. ;) Today’s strip

Apr 2nd

IT'S HIS NATURE

4/1: The beauty of it is, he can’t resist who he is. Today’s strip

Apr 1st

STEAMPUNK BUG

3/29: I like how he accessorizes with a mouse instead of pocket watch. Today’s strip

Mar 29th

PASSING THE TEST

3/27: Quoting Gizmo the Gremlin: “Bright light! Bright light!” Today’s strip

Mar 27th

UNDERCOVER

3/26: So far, so good. He doesn’t recognize me. You’d think an immortal being who’d lived for millenia would’ve have picked up *some* craftiness… Today’s strip

Mar 26th

BUG SLIDE

3/25: Now, I’m thankful to have my own personal iPad. This company-provided one is useless now. Today’s strip
