Ponytail resumes her role as a cosmic home inspector.
She asks Cueball when the last time he flipped the continental plates, because they look heavily eroded. This may be an allusion to the practice of turning mattresses over every few months. This was common until the 20th century, to even out the wear and tear, and prevent permanent body impressions. When modern box springs became common, the practice became unnecessary.

- Ponytail: These tectonic plates look pretty eroded. When did you last flip them?
- Cueball: Flip them?
- Ponytail: Yeah, to use the underside of the continent.
- Cueball: ...Never?
- Ponytail: Wow. Explains the eons of weathering, debris basins, and ... is this isostatic depression?
- Cueball: It's rebounding!
- Ponytail: You should really flip it. You'll get a whole new landscape!
- Cueball: But I like this landscape!
- Ponytail: Just think how warm and fresh the other side will feel.
- Cueball: A sea of molten rock?
- Ponytail: Good for the feet. Helps exfoliate.

Should we add a category for the "Ponytail the planetary housing inspector" saga? Previously in the series: 3192, 3037, probably others that I forgot as well. Also of note, when the comics contain a geologist it is almost exclusively Ponytail, perhaps that deserves a category like Category:Doctor Ponytail? 185.36.194.22 04:28, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
- There already is one. There's the Home Inspection saga. GSLikesCats307 (talk) 09:53, 14 June 2026 (UTC)
