Is "Ponytail" actually "Elaine Roberts" from comic 342 / xkcd 342?? --B. P. (talk) 23:53, 22 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

I don't think so. In xkcd 342 she starts out as a child with a ponytail, but by the end, when she has bested her master, she has let her hair down. In the rest of the 1337 story she never appears with her hair in a ponytail. Lcarsos found xkcd 322 a ponytailed woman named Joanna. I think that's more likely. 04:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

Could Joanna be named after Joanna from jeffersonlabs? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzr_Akg7WJ0 --141.101.104.57 14:45, 20 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

Do we know whether Ponytail is a male or a female? I saw some references to a "she" in the early comices but I'm not even sure that's the same ponytail. 162.158.92.48 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

I came here looking for this: Category:Home Inspections but was unable to find it, had to get lucky on search terms and hazy memory. Given there are (so far) four comics with this "character", doesn't it justify a mention? 82.37.49.64

Google is your friend: https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=Category%3AHome+Inspections (you can also click the category link in your message, i fixed it.) FaviFake (talk) 12:54, 6 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
I suspect they meant they couldn't remember what the category was called, which wouldn't help with the Googling either. If you are going the Google route, adding a 'site:explainxkcd.com' to the search would improve the chances of finding what you're after. 82.13.184.33 13:18, 6 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
Or right I totally misread the message. I'll add a mention to the ponytail page. FaviFake (talk) 13:39, 6 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
