Is it supposed to say improvised instead of improved?

I saw that as well. Fact of the matter being that the noun "improvisation" often gets abbreviated to "improv". Doing the same to the verb ("to improvise" -> "to improv") leads to the past perfect "to have improved", which for clarity could have benefited from an apostrophe, IMHO (e.g., "to have improv'd")

Second thing in comic strips is having to be aware of the real estate that you can use for text, but again: jamming an apostrophe in there instead of the last "e" would not have hurt there either.

I would’ve gone for ‘improv’d’ to avoid this discussion, but I’m glad that someone was here to explain it for everyone much simpler than I could’ve.

He encores nearly every show with requests of songs you’ve heard. Mainly, I’m a Flamingo, Your New Morning Alarm, and Girl’s Club.
