BenRG:
This is a curious strip. Is Jeph reacting to the annoyance some felt towards Hannelore for encouraging Winslow to do more with himself? Either way, though, this is a new insight into May. She's never struck me as being a 'do what you feel' sort of person, given that she was pretty active in urging Marigold to get over her indecision loop. That said, she was doing Dale a favour there so who knows what she thinks when she doesn't have a personal stake.
My disappointment with this comic? Panel 1 isn't May tossing that last teen out in some comedic way.
sitnspin:
This is the response I expect from May. She, for good reason, has strong feelings about personal freedom.
The difference in the Marigold case is that it was obvious that what Marigold was doing wasn't making her happy. In this case, the opposite is true. She's encouraging Winslow to do what brings him joy and comfort.

But the debris from her doing it is scattered around every frame! I like being able to build my own picture of what went on...
Tova:
Stories are stronger when they let the audience join the dots. Wouldn’t you say, Ben?

Not automatically no. However, in this particular case you are taking a semi-humorous remark about something I wanted to see as some sort of substantive criticism.
