Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 07, 2021

I hope Alex doesn’t call Kim Auntie Stupidhead.

Yes Alex, but JJ is gone away with Uncle Stupidhead and Kim is here and she have all the skills to relate with you.

Kim will be a shoo-in with Alex with that game!! Definitely an ice breaker!!

And good for her coding. As I recall, she had 15 patents by the time she is 15…

Way to bond, Kim!

Kim is actually closer to Alex’s age than she is to MIke’s age.

“I’m not asking to be your mom. I’m asking if you want a friend.”

Where in Asia is Kim meant to be from?

Parents: Baby talk. Gibberish.Kim: Free verse.

Alex just met her match

JJ may have given birth but has rarely filled the role of mother.

Do the have a WNBA All Stars game now?

And, ‘BAM’ – she’s already a better “mother” than the deserter.

What is the age difference between Alex and Kim?

Kim knows exactly the right way to relate to Alex.

This was Kim’s first appearance, on a plane to America from Vietnam – https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1975/05/05

Well, finally! They meet! Good move, Kim… New game. Is it “new” as in under development “new”?

Good opening move Kim

Trust me Alex, you’ll be trading up.

“Yes, let’s not fool ourselves gang — I’m a Class Act”!

And she still is!

Kim will turn out to be a MUCH better mother than JJ

Yes you have a mother, but Daddy needs a wife.

This leaves me thinking — why don’t we see more of the Rosenberg parents at the Doonesbury household or in Alex’s life as step-grandparents?

And what a good job JJ is doing so far…
