My guess is it's either "back to from whence he came," or "you haven't come such a long way, baby."
Kinda reminds me of Rex.

HEY BARON
They're both swimmers. It's a compare and contrast concept with the addition of trompe l'oeil effects to capture the eye.
HEY COWBOY
It's all just very thin layers of oil paint that LOOKS like stone. A little "sleight of painting brush". The piece is no heavier than an average 2' x2' stretched canvas.
