True, but I've heard plenty of adult Americans use this grammar (saying 'good' when it should be 'well'). Enough that it probably counts as a colloquialism...
Loki:
Thank God I have well grammar.
Sorflakne:
Dora in a skirt. I approve.

Yeah, you're English is really well!
Akima:
In Australia, it is very common to hear this exchange: "Owaryamite?" "I'm good!" Needless to say, the second speaker is not making a comment on their moral status. I say "I am well!", but then I also only use "mate" ironically, to address people who are emphatically not mates.

Only native-speakers can afford to be sloppy. One of the things that made me twitch about panel four, is that Sam can use bad English and get away with it as "a kid", where when I did it, even at a younger age, people called me Ching Chong, but my triggers are mine to deal with. :-\
And yes, Dora looks very nice. I'm still not sure about the white belt though.
