9/11/06 Cartoon for "Portuguese Statistics for Dummies"

FRAME 1:

Voice on phone: Hello?

Licas on phone: Daddy, I've been stuck on my first Statistics problem
for two weeks! I'm SO in over my head!
What am I
doing at sci.stat.math?


FRAME 2:

Voice on phone: Licas, your anxiety may be preventing you from
spotting
connections you otherwise would. Pretend
it's not
homework. Make it a game, and let the sun
shine in.


FRAME 3:

Licas looking out window at sunshine and two birds in sky ... pondering


FRAME 4:

Licas on phone: Everything's fine here, thanks.

Voice on phone: Okay. I see it. Bye.

nationally syndicated Doonsbury cartoon of 9/11/06; or between the
Afonsos, real or imaginary, in sci.stat.math, is entirely
coincidental.
