Aw, quit your belly achin’, and let’s go get stoned.

First there is a mountain,

Then there is no mountain,

Then there is…

Erosion can be a real pain.

Nature…. Making molehills out of mountains since day 1.

It kinda cuts you down to size, eh?

Soon to be a grain of sand.

Don’t worry. There is a good chance of some nearby subduction to push you back up to Mountain status.

Did he say that the rain “wears on him”?

In time the Rockies may tumble, Gibraltar may crumble …

because H2O + CO2 = H2CO3 carbonic acid.

I can almost imagine the deadpan look on the flower’s face in the final panel…

Never mind the weather. Let’s rock!

I don’t usually mention any panel issues, but what happened to the sky in the second panel?

Guess the mountain was reduced to a molehill

some things shrink when they get wet . . .

Must have been a LOT of rain

Been around a long time, haven’t you?

Just making molehills out of mountains.

Going down erode feeling bad

Going down erode feeling bad

Going down erode feeling bad, hey hey hey, yeah

Don’t wanna be treated this a way

- Traditional, arr. by the Grateful Dead

Then there is: NO THERE, THERE !

And the Grand Canyon used to be a stream…

What brings mountains low, drags kings from their thrones, emptied oceans…

Hey, in his world size matters!

Ah, explain to fifth graders how the Appalachian Mountains used to be the size of the Rocky Mountains and coastal Virginia used to be a series of islands… Weathering, erosion, and deposition

Well, then, find yourself a mole hill, and have fun.

poor rock
