While the previous grump needs to go back to bed, there is a point in that the old saying is "write what you know".
The ancient Omaha comics show that the author/artist probably lived a paycheck to paycheck life in the realities of the 70's with realistic societal problems. It's evident in the writing. The family dramas and daily struggles in finding job and apartment are more realistic.
This artist, well. In the first one, they had the characters going to a restaurant you "can't get reservations for" in casual clothing maybe appropriate for a theme park, but not a restaurant like that. In this one, they have their impression of people dressed for a pretty decent place with an expected high three figure dinner bill...and the bartender sounds like a bad movie trope and serves what looks like a wine cooler they refer to as "booze", and comments on the price.
I seriously doubt the author/artist goes to high end places much, it unfortunately shows! There's some vague notions gleaned from television and movies, perhaps, but...
As they say. It's best to write what you know. The original was best when they just focused on the home life and playful porn, I think.
