Honestly, I’d be less concerned about the table and far, far more about the big puddle of molten metal and/or plastic that has RUINED that carpet beyond all hope of recovery.
Daremonai
Maybe she didn’t like the carpet?
Herandar
Probably could’ve led with the third item, and spared the poor speaker and the innocent passerby. No need to be soooo dramatic, Joyce.
Coyoty
I would advise against trying to put Joyce in a nursing home.

Penny has heir priorities straight. Personal property first, then the realization that mankind is not alone.
Rikard
Ahhh, the joys of parenting! (Or should that be “Ahhh, the Joyce of parenting!”?)

I love how in panel 6 you capture how both sides of the argument have blocked themselves off! I also like how this shows the danger of raising perfectly logical children who grow into adults without a sense of wonder. If you can’t wonder, then it’s a lot more difficult to imagine diverse and creative solutions.
Penny’s reaction reminds me of the hunter who was so disgusted with his hunting dog. Sure, the dog could walk on water, but all that meant is that the dog didn’t know how to swim.

Well. Plainly the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. Penny is logical enough to accept extraordinary proof for extraordinary claims. I blanch to think what would happen to the G.O.B. if Penny and her sibs encountered it. The Galaxy would not be the same.
Probably a good thing. For all concerned.
Gyffes
Wait — when did she/they get augmented?!

There was that one scene way back when, where she had to go to the med-bot for something, and it offered to give her superpowers, and she was like, “…sure, why not.”

Joyce knows she has to hit hard and fast to convince her daughter or else Penny will just think it was some kind of weird trick…
I’ve met exactly one Joyce more than 10 years younger than me. Maybe this strip will make the name popular again. 🙂
