I think the comic does not depict a remodeler trying to convince a homeowner about the layer of hardwood: the reaction "I guess so..." doesn't seem enthusiastic enough for that. Instead, I think the comic reads more sensibly (and more in Munroe's style) if it's seen as depicting a geologist explaining the layers of geological stratification and a home renovator then jumping to the conclusion that there is hardwood to be found. Under this interpretation, Blondie replies "I guess so..." because Cueball's remark was genuinely unexpected.

Agreed. I think that Cueball is the home remodeler. 172.70.57.179 09:29, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Is it just me or did they change the incomplete template? Used to be cyan and slanted, I thought 172.69.70.165 17:26, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

It might be a good idea to incorporate 2840:_Earth_Layers into this explanation, given the similar topic. I'm not confident enough to do it myself. Magicalus (talk) 04:06, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
