Abstract: We compare two combinatorial models for the moduli space of two-dimensional cobordisms: B"odigheimer's radial slit configurations and Godin's admissible fat graphs, producing an explicit homotopy equivalence using a "critical graph" map. We also discuss natural compactifications of these two models, the unilevel harmonic compactification and Sullivan diagrams respectively, and prove that the homotopy equivalence induces a cellular homeomorphism between these compactifications.
