 Hi ! First Time commenter here. I wanted to note that the tone of the explanation feels weird to me (it is not specific to this comic, but to most latest explanation). It is very descriptive, dumbing down things that are obvious (panel 1, 2 and 3). I have the feeling the explanation would be better as something like "this is a joke about heart mountain [wikipedia link] <sumary of wikipedia link explaining how the exisiting theories a out heart mountain may look absurd>. Non need to paraphrase each element of the comic, but bette explain the ones that someone may not understand.

 Made some edits to hopefully work better. I still feel the scientific explanation is a bit threadbare, and should be written with more detail of how the conclusion was reached, but I haven't read enough to confidently rewrite that....
