The downturn continues turning down

Today was even worse than yesterday, comics-wise. When will this downturn end? It's even affecting adventure strips, and what sort of day is it when the "Spider-Man" strip isn't bad enough to mock? Well, here we go. I shall endeavor to do my best.

Technically from yesterday, but it showed up in the ol' DCR inbox today. The problem with this one is that, unless that girl is going to become the physical embodiment of patience, then it should be "patient". This isn't the first time I've noticed such a grammatical snafu in this strip, and I'm wondering if it's just a character quirk or an actual error.

Chip is supposed to be in a band, right? Shouldn't he be appreciative of the work that those musicians have done? I mean, it's Paul McCartney. He was one of the Beatles, for god's sake. If you're going to just dismiss him as a old man rocker, then you're really selling him short.

That guy gets it. Except, with the sliding time-line used in comic strips as well as comic books, shouldn't Brutus Thornapple be more aware of who Ozzy Osbourne is, even if he wasn't a fan? Shouldn't what I'm assuming is an "Oz Fest" t-shirt tip him off? Unless they're just portraying Brutus as a loser, which is very likely. I have some choice words to say about this strip at some later date. It'll be a theme post.

Don't worry, Dilbert. I'm sure there are girls who'd appreciate a guy who has that cell phone app. Your real problems are the fact that you're pear-shaped and you have hair that looks like broccoli.

That man looks like a shaved ape. All I have to say about this.
