It doesn't have to tell the monster. (this btw is one wireheading-related issue; i do quite hate the lingo here though; calling it wireheaded makes it sound like there isn't a couple thousands years of moral philosophy about the issue and related issues)

I'm not aware of an alternative to "wireheading" with the same meaning.

It would be awfully hard to hide. Sure, it could lock the monster in an illusory world of optimal happiness, or just stimulate his pleasure centers directly, etc. But unless we assume that the AI is working under constraints that prevent that sort of thing, the comic doesn't make much sense.
