Phoning it in from MIT

We watched and giggled when MIT hacked the voting system and elected their school as the college destination for Alex Doonesbury. Not as hard, maybe, as when we read the strips back in April as the acceptance letters were coming in and Harvard was dismissed with a "whatever" from Mike. We're not sure if Alex has made a Cambridge appearance in the strip – following Doonesbury requires us to actually pick up the sidekick visit Doonesbury.com. Today we're a little disappointed that there is no local imagery in the strip – but we do have Alex phoning it in from MIT. The dialog is certainly dry enough for a Monday (and a somewhat welcome respite from all the 9/11-five-year programming of the day). Alex is off at school, having trouble settling into college life, Mike gives her fatherly advice and feels dejected. Sorry dad, it's all about her now.

We're hoping fair use applies to the panel as we've used it, because we're commenting on it - to read the whole strip take a jaunt through the tubes over here
