Cryptwarming

Dethany buys a house in this, the complete collection of 2011 strips from “On the Fastrack.” As a bonus you’ll also see the pencil sketches drawn live at her housewarming, when she invites both her co-workers and her friends from the non-corporate sphere. Not invited is Dethany’s ex-boyfriend Syd, who resurfaces during a business trip with Wendy. The past also intrudes upon the present when Ms. Trellis researches Dethany’s childhood. Growing up is seen to be a challenge, under the strict military guidance of Lt. Colonel Anne Dendrobia. Ms. Trellis and Dethany’s mother come to be at odds during a contentious business negotiation. Other events include Dethany becoming the victim of identity theft, tutoring high school student Patina Welding, planning the Fastrack holiday party and, finally, spending New Year’s Eve as a winsome gargoyle. Welcome to Dethany’s house, where every day is Halloween!
