Is It Safe?

In today's Dinette Set, Burl gets chastised by his dentist, leading the reader to follow suit and chastise the artist for:
  • Rather unnaturally not contracting the dentist's dialog. What was wrong with "I don't think you've flossed?"
  • The gratuitous shot at hobos. What have they ever done to you?
  • The attempt to express nervousness through Burl's wriggling feet. What made you think you could pull that idea off with 4 movement lines when you can't even convincingly draw crossed legs?

I realize the dentist's idiotic statement is required for Burl's answer to make any sense, but it's still annoying. Even Burl isn't dumb enough to attempt to floss and fail, which is what the dentist is assuming has happened.
