AI Analysis

Comic Strip Title: "Mensa Membership"

Summary:

The comic strip follows a conversation between two men, with one inquiring about the other's consideration of joining Mensa, a club for individuals with high IQs. The second man, a president of a local chapter, responds that they are so smart they work less practically and have less intelligence than they think. The conversation highlights the irony of seeking membership in a group that values intelligence, yet may not always apply it effectively.
