I'd cheer 'em on if this Toggle character was actually a dolphin and they started having great graphic underwater interspecies sex. Or maybe if Alex was an anthropomorphic sex badger. That would be wonderful.

I thought I was your anthropomorphic sex badger. This is it - I've had enough. Pack your shit and get out.

Everyone ought to have a chance to try the anthro-badger sex; we all deserve a little nibble with our frot.

I'll never forget you, Badgey.

/me Googles Alex and Toggle
OK - That's about computers. I'm guessing that's not it.
Nope. Not it.
WTF... Metachat at number 3. That doesn't help...

Alex Doonesbury - Teenage daughter of Mike and J.J. who lived with her father and Kim, but is now a student at MIT. A techie, Alex bonded with Kim over the computer and holds several patents. More or less a liberal foil for her more moderate father.

Toggle (real name Leo DeLuca) - a veteran of the Iraq war. Toggle, a young heavy metal fan, was wounded in an ambush while serving as Ray Hightower's driver, and has returned home with aphasia and a loss of sight in one eye. B.D. who has commanded him often checks in to see how he is doing. In strips run in March and April, 2009, it is shown that he has befriended Alex Doonesbury over the Internet. She goes to visit him and they have their first date.

or, put another way, *awwwwwwww*

She was always a hot ticket. Back in the 90s when the internet was newer and people weren't sure what to do with it, there was a storyline of Mike trying to put password protection on his computer. Alex, to Mike: "Oh, that was you? I disabled it in like 5 minutes."

Glad to see a good storyline in Doonesbury. Sometimes Gary Trudeau phones it in, sometimes not.

That Doonesbury Special movie ROCKS. hike, hike, hike... uh?

I think Trudeau does romantic relationships really well.

A few months ago, Alex described herself as a "shovel-ready girlfriend." Trudeau's still got it.
