Our winning picks from “a day at the zoo 7”: “The Fellowship attempting to cross the Misty Mountain Caradhras with a little Saruman standing on the brick barrier whispering spells to stop them”
So now, suggest in the comments below what you think should be happening in the spot labeled above. It can be as much or as little as you want, it can feature guests, animals, additional scenery, whatever.
Then I’ll pick some of my favorite comments along with the top comments (based on likes), and will have members of the Interactive Comics tier vote on which one of those suggestions should be picked and officially added to the illustration.
And we’re gonna keep doing this until the whole ass picture is jam ass full (of ass). Make sense? Still no?? OK LETS GO

Each of the little peaks is sentient and their faces are sexy. Some might be arguing with each other, maybe one is spitting on a passerby, another could be making out with a mermaid or a seagull or both. Leave the details up to you

The price is right cliffhangers game is occuring, with Drew Carey to one side with an excited contestant (who is a Baboon in disguise). There is also the Grinch sunbathing on a lower rock.
Sherpas
Mountain goats, yes, but also two escaped convicts dressed as mountain goats, trying to fit in with the other mountain goats, who are not convinced.
I see I am not the first person to think of mountain goats - I would suggest mountain goats that are in increasingly gravity defining positions until the last one is just levitating on the top of the mountain.
Mountain goats that are really just actual mountains
It’s an active volcano with lava streams. There’s a sign that says do not drink the lava. We see a zoo worker holding back a zoo patron, who is trying to stick a silly straw into a lava stream.
An active volcano that spews molten pudding that kids try to catch on their tongues
An enlightened orangutan sits in meditation at the top while a line of monkeys waits to meet with him down the mountain.
Signs stating that the mythical Bigfoot has finally been captured, but it's just some hairy guy in shorts and a wife beater who stubbed his toe and it's swollen up, and he's clutching it and screaming in pain
Bigfoot lives on top of the mountain. Of course, lately he has problems with all these monkeys. Who aren’t real monkeys but paparazzi disguised as monkeys, but Bigfoot doesn’t know that and flings feces as them. Big sign of course says “no photos”. There can’t be a photo of Bigfoot.
The ‘mountain’ is a key feature of a twisty turny rollercoaster ride that fills much of the space from the mountain to the building at the top of the picture. There is a precipitous drop which the rollercoaster car is approaching at speed. Imminent disaster or …?
Legally distinct Disneyland Matterhorn Bobsleds (I just want a roller coaster going in around and through the mountain). Terrified animals riding the roller coaster
A literal “King of the Hill” who’s comfortably watching his kingdom from a throne, maybe he’s watching the man flirting with the dolphin. He’s totally unaware of the small battle of other people climbing the kill with weapons in hand ready to take his place. Maybe he has some defenders
ghosts, just a bunch of ghosts

Not-Disney not-imagineers wearing traditional Swiss garb working on an animatronic yeti
A giant pair of sunglasses and a sign that says "cool rock"
Along the base, a bunch of giraffe heads, implying that there is some large den underneath.
Two cats sleeping comfortably on top and several very angry cats desperately hanging on to the side of the mountain and a zoo patron in cat ears with a little grabber putting more cats onto the mountain
Kirby trying to swallow the mountain
A recreation of how the Grinch Stole Christmas
The mountain has grown arms and is fighting with Prince Oberyn
Dwarfs running around and mine for gold.
Little naked men with goatees and mountain (Tyrolean) hats
This is the North Pole. Full on winter decor. Santa doing laps around it on his sleigh.
The mountain is actually a grandma à la Patti Mayonnaise's one painting in that episode of Doug.
A bunch of animals being forced out, along with some luxury condos being built and pithy advertising around the construction ("if you lived here, you'd be home now," type of thing).
the mountain has friendly eyes and a face but is heckling visitors
