We have here a strip where Lila shows her true self (whether or not it’s psychopathic) while showing no concern that Boyd is commenting on it. (This is necessary for the joke, of course, but what does it tell us if we take it at face value?)
Your first comment suggests concern that people conflate psychopaths and murderers, but I would be very surprised if the expression “psychopathic murderers” (which one rarely sees) was not chosen by the cartoonists to make it clear that they are not being conflated here.
