Bill Holbrook (born 1958) is an American cartoonist and webcomic writer and artist, best known for his syndicated comic strip On the Fastrack.
[1] Born in Los Angeles, Holbrook grew up in Huntsville, Alabama, and began drawing at an early age.
While majoring in illustration and visual design at Auburn University, Holbrook served as art director of the student newspaper, doing editorial cartoons and a weekly comic strip.
Following his advice and encouragement, Holbrook created a strip in the fall of that year about a college graduate working in a rundown diner.
Eleven days before On the Fastrack made its syndicated debut (March 19, 1984), Holbrook met Teri Peitso on a blind date.
