WCDT Strips 4011-4015 (27th-31st May, 2019)
BenRG:
This strip was just beautiful and I've been laughing about it since I first saw it.
The first point of this strip is the revelation is that May does care enough about other people's opinions of her so that she can do the Walk of Shame. Enough to lie about something that, at most, would inspire Dale to ask if she had a good time and drop the matter (because he obviously respects her autonomy). It suggests to me that this has been a stronger emotional experience than she was expecting.
The second point is something that we've known for a long time and that is that May really likes Dale but feels unable to admit it because she's so committed to this 'misanthropic curmudgeon' persona that she's always using. It's tragic in a way that she has such a hard time admitting that Dale might be her friend. Historically, other people have had to tell her that they're her friends (like Momo) and she's been happy to have them. It's just a reminder of how profoundly hurt she's been by her past misadventures.

Yeah, I have to agree with all the people who say that, if anyone is going to be 'weird about this', it's going to be May. It seems to be Sven's curse that he has casual hook-ups and is just so good at it that it turns casual interest into full-blown attraction. We'll see where this goes because, as first boyfriends go, he's just about the most challenging option.

That would be GINO (Godzilla in name only) you're talking about, and no, he doesn't count. It was Jurassic Park in New York.
traroth:
So now I ge why May got caught when she couldn't resist the impulse to steal 750 millions. She really is a terrible liar.
cybersmurf:
Personally, I think May may need some time to process all of this.
Also, I think she even said out loud that she's thankful Dale took her in both as hologram and physical person. And I think that's why she was invested in making the Marbear/Dale thing work, both helping initiating it, and keeping it up. Also, gross exchange of even grosser bodily fluids.
