If you pair yesterday's and today's strips left-to-right, they form one long strip with similar Booster/Carla panels at the ends and single-person head-and-shoulder shots between.

Carla: "They're not delusions if they're accurate!"

Carla might legitimately have psychological delusions of grandeur.

It might really be Carla can't stand being ignored by anyone.

None of the important people I have met have felt the need to state that they are.

Carla is in the position of denying what's obvious to any onlooker because she cannot access the rhetoric of attraction, which inherently assigns importance to the other person.
Abstractly, we're seeing yet another example of author Willis taking a character defined by a schtick and writing a story that files off the edges to make them human like us. Mike, the eternal cynical asshole, fell in love, and died nobly. Sal, the aloof motorcyclist, traded the bike for flowers and a boyfriend. Joe is no longer the caricature of promiscuity he started as, and there is much to say of Joyce, of course.
It often works to let go of what you think makes you special and let other people bring your actual specialness to the surface.

Carla continues to be infallibly correct.

I knew Carla liked Charlie. She would fall for the one person who accidentally ignores her narcissistic butt.
