These rocks are from a time before eyes, brains, and bones, pieces of a land warmed by an unseen sun.

Could you please not shoehorn American politics into every single fucking thing?

You're 4% of the planet

The rocks will look different when their chemistry will change when exposed to a warmer climate, different climate migrating species grow on them, and they're covered in micro plastics, and worn down by more acidic rains.

And possibly become radioactive if things don't go right.

The comic was released the day after the election, by an author who lives in the United States. I suspect the comic is explicitly about American politics.

I'm zero percent planet, but all of the planet will feel the rippels caused by this election.

Yeah, but we're the exceptional 4%.
