Safe Havens Treasury - Holbrook, Bill

. .

Résumé :
In 1988, Al Leeds of the Washington Post Writers Group launched a new comic strip set at the Safe havens Day Care Center, featuring its dedicated yet beleaguered staff and their alarmingly precocious charges. Many things have changed since then, including a move to King Features Syndicate in 1993. At that point, the strip began following Samantha and her friends as they aged into elementary school and beyond, with the day care center finally reappearing when the former preschoolers began having children of their own. Here, you can see the early years of current favorites like Samantha, Dave and Jenny, along with characters like Matthew who took different paths. Also included is a bonus section, The Safe Havens Survival Guide to Day Care. Welcome back!...
