I gotta say, the more I think about this strip, the less I like it...
Indicible:
So, maidification as punishment. We_R_Nomad would be proud.
It begs the question: where do those 750 millions come from? Skimming the fractions after the comma?

Here is my guess: The "testing" is a very thin cover that Dale has already blown. The one actually paying him is the corrections facility, and what he's actually being paid for is to assist in May's re-socialization as a sort of unwitting parole officer / behavior therapist.
Whether or not that's ethical is up for debate, but I suppose if the worst she can do to him is annoy him for two days, then he's being compensated fairly for it. They're bound to have safeguards and surveillance in place to ensure she can't go rogue or escape.
(Also, we still don't know what was in that license agreement. It could have been right there in the fine print.)

Me too. And May flying a fighter-jet does not sound good...
Boob socks? Boob socks? What about the weird boob shape? Or look at Miss Underboob in the background with the pair of half-grapefruit apparently attached to her collarbones? Making fun of comic-artists' ideas about female anatomy is like shooting fish in a barrel...
And *groan* @ IICIH.
Blackjoker:
I could see it as maybe something closer to a bet, like her arguing that she doesn't really have problems and that anyone would probably do something like that, hence her trying to get Dale to do things that a more impulsive individual might. Either that or she's doing this because she figures that people with the glasses are going to have money, thus she might be able to still get the money for her jet fighter by memorizing a few accounts here and there and taking a few from a lot of people is easier than a lot from one place.
