After all this time I think some of you actually enjoy complaining about the story. It's like a guilty pleasure or something. ;)
I call this anger porn. Some people derive bizarre emotional gratification from being self-righteously angry and feed this hunger online by continually looking at stuff that they know will make them angry and putting the interpretation on stuff they read that allows them to be angry.
I must say, I admire Dave for his exemplary coolheadedness in the face of such incessant fault-finding. I even suspect him of, from time to time, purposefully tweaking the details of his storylines in order to make them more politically incorrect -- just to have some fun at the expense of the censorious anger-addicts.
While eagerly awaiting the coming developments, I also wonder: how will Dave scandalize them next? If I had to risk a guess, I'd say that, at some point, and more sooner than later, Abby will get to -- gasp! -- experience her first whoopee.
Think about it! Oh, the possibilities! How would it happen? Would it be straight? Would it be lesbian? Would it perhaps be a shocking surprise tryst with her own br... ah, eh, never mind, I let my imagination run wild for a moment there.

I wonder if they ever get tired of being themselves. I expect not, since their self-righteous anger is addictively satisfying. But
as a positive person who comes here for fun commentary because I enjoy these comics, I get tired of them being them.

The relentless cries of outrage are, indeed, amusing... but, honestly, I think that, for one who loves the strips and comes here hoping to share some fun with other happy readers, it's impossible to escape a certain degree of disappointment to find the thread swamped with the murky hogwash of hatemongers.
