And Mike suddenly feels a little intimidated.

I’d like to know Kim’s IQ.

At least to work in the industry, not even a bachelor isn’t required in the field of computer science.

Bernie would only want brainiacs like Kim crunching code for his company.

I missed a large chunk of this strip, so I haven’t seen this before. But I remember when Kim was one of the last Viet Nam orphans brought to America and adopted by the Rosenthals. She wasn’t even a toddler yet. Mike was in college.

For a taste of “totally too easy”, use Youtube search: MIT Walter Lewin lectures

I like her already. And she has something in common with Alex (the smarts)!

What’s with the Team Bernie? I thought this is taking place at a Steve Forbes campaign event.

Why “Team Bernie”? I thought this was a Steve Forbes meeting

I had the same issues with Harvard, Stanford, Cal Poly … /s

In addition to being the last kid out of ’Nam, and the baby repeating the TV strips in the 70s, she also featured in the mid-80s in a strip week on the topic Asian-Americans and Asian immigrants out-performing white Americans in standardized math tests significantly on average.

Nothing wrong with being smart. It’s only an issue when you start acting smart.

I’m confused. Did they just switch from the Steve Forbes event to Mike’s work?

I dated a biochemist for a while. Smart, confident women are amazing .

Beauty and brains. I just know Alex will love her!

Team Bernie? Is this another subtle update, or did I miss something?

Every older guy’s dream….hot, intelligent & much younger. Mike once had a dream of having a son with Kim but beyond that the second child never happened….

Don’t outkick your coverage Mike.

And so… the MIT connection and a positive intelligent female roll model for Alex. Though, her grandmother would fit that Bill if she paid any attention to her offspring. Intelligence is a combination of genes and the environmental nurturing of those genes…

OK, both of these people can quite the Forbes campaign. Mission Accomplished.
