Menudo mosqueo
Proposed translations
(Dylan) really took the hump (when)...
"And Dylan got really humpty when..."
For example, these hump/humpty idioms are similar to "get someone's back up":
"And Dylan really got his back up when..."
(I could go on about this for ages, but today I'm off to the beach...)
I get really Humpty if anyone thinks they can impede my access to our land.
John got his back up when his parents brought up the subject of college...

Quite aggravated
I googled the text and believe Dylan's original reaction was this:
"Dylan came back from the basement just a few minutes later, with a stormy look on his face, bringing the round box I´d won in that unexpected bet. He threw it at me with the same rage that infused his words."
So it is a mixture of anger and disappointment.
