“Y’all (Singular)” and “All y’all (plural)” are regional variants. “All y’all” is mostly in the deep south and some of the Appalacians, and “Y’all (singular)” is ann easily recognized feature of Yat, in the Louisiana area.

Anacronism is fun when done well. This was done well XD

Halykan, don’t be needlessly didactic, particularly if you haven’t any direct experience. I lived for ten years in Georgia and twelve in Texas, and I can tell you that this strip’s use of “y’all” is not usual in Georgia and the Deep South (though it would not actually be considered wrong there), and usual in Texas.

Not to be a downer, but that’s not how “y’all” works. It’s a contraction of “you all” – ergo, it’s a second person plural pronoun. English used to have this back in the day, but it evolved out, but hey, now it’s rising again. It’s for addressing a group of people directly, so unless that banjo player has a backup band off-strip the conversation rings falsely for the southern audience.

And for some reason I imagined that cowboy singing the RATM version of that song.

PC’s mostly non PC audience? I think you give mac & linux far too much credit

People who forget what year it is piss me off. I’ve got this song stuck in my head that’s not going to be written til i’m an old man but I can’t remember enough of it to write it ahead of time and make money.

Probably the same way any other blues song sounds on a banjo. Look up Papa Charlie Jackson or Gus Cannon; just like that, but slower.
