No. Not at all. My post was not intended as a complaint or nitpick, but to convey information which I thought might be interesting and helpful to a nonnative English speaker interested in languages.
However, this is one comic that I didn't laugh at. Not because I think it is bad, but because the topic of SCO is so old and worn out. I think someone compared it to the monster in the horror B movie that just wont die, and I have to agree with the sentiment.
Edit: How about "Darl McBride vs The Eveready Bunny" for a B movie title? ;-)

It is a bit of an oddity. But the term "pants", short for "pantaloons" is, in English, regarded as being plural.
