| In this collection of Fastrack strips from 2008, Patina Welding turns 13 and becomes the cyber-superhero “iPatina,” rescuing unwary users from all forms of malware. In this role she meets noted blogger Thom Tumid who documents her exploits. Also during the course of the year Patina’s mom Wendy receives a job offer to leave Fastrack. The computer bugs Percy and Thrip suffer romantic heartbreak before the more pleasant experience of competing in the Computer Bug Olympics. Election Day brings a renewal in the Battle of the Blogospheres.
And this being 2008 and all, it ends with Fastrack, Inc. receiving a government bailout. It seems everyone needs rescuing at some point.
