changelingOh, I nearly forgot! Today's BMB contains a very scary Skids. And an incredibly funny Tybalt.
Personally, I find Stalker!Skids much scarier than Stalker!Tybalt. I suppose because BMB Tybalt is nowhere near as scary as TiH Tybalt, and because Tybalt does "have a life outside stalking" [hehe, Mercury]; he also seems to be less intense about it [You look at Skids in today's comic. Does he have a grip on reality? Um...nope].
Skids, on the other hand? This is an almost violent burst of emotion from a character who we usually perceive as being calm, happy and nice. It's scary like a storm in the Pacific; we don't know where this comes from, and it makes us wonder where it came from and when it might happen next. It's a much darker side to a character whose previous anger has only been aroused with percieved threats to his "tribe" [Harley's First Crush; Hatboy vs Collin; even his temper tantrum about icecream could be seen as his attempt to keep the group together which had started to drift apart a little, although admittedly this is a stretch]. The amount of pure malice in Skids's expression in today's comic is quite frightening. That's the expression of a person who says, "Well, yes, I did stab my wife fifteen times, but the bitch deserved it!"

Hn. Maybe I should crosspost this to the BMB LJ community.
On a final note, Jeminem frightens me.
