Not only is Marty ramping up the tude, she's also getting... pretty callous? The descriptive phrase "big, bad" is usually reserved for sarcastic contrast (like the big bad hangnail I had last week), but brain tumors are obviously pretty serious, so I find this confusing. Your tude is confusing me, Marty!
Luckily it's not phasing Lu Ann in the least. Calling your dad a loser? Using his first name? The revelation that you know we've been feeding you a pack of lies, dirty rotten lies?? Yeah, well! Stuff happens. Come back to squiggle art!

I actually think Lu Ann's at her best and brightest here. She's acknowledging Marty's right to her 'tude while trying to help Marty see that her dad was well-intentioned, if misguided.
Maybe Ms. Shulock is setting us up for a big Lu Ann career change from squiggle artist to youth counselor. All sorts of plot twists and turns could come from this!
@mrvy: That would make waaaay too much sense for this strip!
