I remember folks being upset with this one! Because it’s just a single-panel explosion for a Sunday strip. Yeah, well, I figure the full-color Saturday strip that ran yesterday makes up for it, so.
Probably not an actual lot of suspense over Joyce potentially being dead. Because 1) it’s Joyce, and 2) we’ve been leaning PRETTY HEAVILY on Walky’s Future Visions in which she’s still alive.

I suspect tomorrow we’ll see Joyce hovering in the middle of a mech-shaped cloud of ashes, which crumbles to a little pile on the ground like a Wile E. Coyote invention backfiring.
I don’t remember being particularly broken up about this. And I think I was Joyce’s most vocal fanboi at the time.
1979? So if Joyce survived this explosion (and I’m pretty sure she did), she’d be 40 in the present day in this universe.
She is.
Walky: “Joyce! Are you okay?”
Joyce, bloody: “… this is way better than wearing a different shirt, right? Ugh…”
Walky: “… shit, it kinda is. Future derailed?”
