It seems that they walk in the direction that the ‘floor’ of the Canvas we know. They are currently below the ‘floor’ thus they appear to be walking in the ceiling because it is closer to the ‘floor’.
I guess.
Also the ‘floor’ needs a name. I suggest Panel Edge, or just Edge.
And maybe Lemmo’s arm grew back because of some hand juice bi-effect once the entire ‘woody’ was gone? Maybe the same effect as what made the ‘woody’ crumble?
so apparently giant robomander = office building
Was eating them the hiring procedure and now they work there? Of will they be put to work like what the cookies?
Well up till now the robots seem to be pretty solid as allies so I doubt the latter.
The mechamander’s insides invert gravity? Look, they’re standing “upright” when inside the mechamander but are “upside-down” again when they *ahem* “exit.”
Aha! It’s not a city, it’s an office block. Also this reminds me of this freaky movie I once saw/hallucinated, it’s called Forbidden Zone. It’s really weird but there’s one part where the portal to another reality is through the mouth of this weird robot/dog/ape. Anyway freaky stuff.
so this is where the robots go for a normal weekday, since there are cubicles. (most) people take the elevator to get to their floor, but robots get digested by a giant lizard.
oh, and the lizard can control gravity. nbd.
guys, this is perfectly normal by blank it’s standards!
So the Golden Robomander, (not to be confused with the Golden Slurpee Cup) is the entrance to a Robot Office Building? Hmm. And said office building has two points of gravity…
Oh and Robots. Don’t forget the robots… Especially accountant robots. They are up to something… (Or soon will be. Lemmo has that effect.)
Wait… I just had an idea. Everytime something new or odd happens… it can be somehow traced to an action that Lemmo took. Thus making Lemmo the prime force of cause and effect for the BI Universe. Doth this make Lemmo the Great God of Causation?
… Oh and Pollen, you didn’t hallucinate. I’ve seen the Forbidden Zone as well… Such an odd, odd movie.
I wonder what would happen if they jumped? I think they would either A) land on their heads after gravity suddenly switches back to normal, 2) they hit the floor/ceiling/whatever is toward the bottom of the comic and just kinda hoover there, or D) they fly back up to the ceiling/floor/whatever.
ps-Why doesn’t Marina’s hair fall up when she’s done being ‘digested’ but still inside the mechalamander/salabot/robomander/gravityinverter/elevator entrance/thing? sorry to double post.
@Kid of Death, it looks to me like it let’s them go just after the last panel of “Handy Catchphrase” and then instead of continuing to fall with respect to the canvas they fall with respect to the office/city.
Wheee! Big comic page! The lines look thicker, too. Is this related to us being underplane now? Also, it looks as tho their feet are glued to the floor rather than being under some strange gravity; but how did they get stuck to the ceiling anyway?
@PolleN, I had to read that a couple times before I understood it. I suppose that makes sense, but if they fell towards the office, why did they end up on the ceiling? Which way is gravity pulling, anyway?
Clearly, shoes in the Blank It world allow you to walk anywhere. Lemmo was wearing shoes, which let him walk on the purple lake, while Aric was not, causing him to sink.
Since they both reformed with shoes, they all get to walk on the ceiling.
Gravity, n. The force that causes objects to fall in a variety of directions and not necessarily with any regard to any particular, unified direction. Can be affected unpredictably by encounters with the legendary mechamander (or whatever).
The robots seem so strange when they act so normal. There is not much normality in Blank It, so that makes it even more strange.
And besides, with a dress that loose, you’d be GLAD gravity isn’t working logically in that room…. PANTY SHOT! … Well… Actually, considering the pseudo-Greek styling of that outfit… I’m going to say… CROTCH SHOT because it seems unlikely that she… What? The greeks probably didn’t have underwear, and presuming that she spawned in this world fully formed in those clothes, then logically there’d be nothin in there really. I’M NOT A PERVERT! HONEST!
@rocklight, you may not be a pervert, but you know half of the people reading your post will go and have fantasies about that now. Maybe even Spawn their own porno version of blank it. Just sayin, people these days are sickening as a whole
I almost laughed at Marina’s gravity-defying, PG-rated dress. I might start to think she doesn’t have legs, just feet attached to the skirt of her dress.
Of course it’s selective, or they would all fall to the floor above them. It must be living gravity that can choose what to pull on and what way to pull it…operating through robomander, of course, because that’s where the initial change occurred.
Maybe we’re looking at this backwards. Or upside down rather. Perhaps the ROBOTS are on the ceiling, and they are on the floor. Static from the robots could account for the hair and coat floating upwards, rather then falling downwards.
@KoD… that is… The Greatest Discovery of the Month! (I’d say ever, but well… that one is under contention. Those ratfinks at Mensa just won’t let go.)
@Everyone Else… You’ve all heard about gravity, right? It works by the force of two objects exerting itself, with the more massive object winning. which is why Planets have only one source of major gravity that we notice.
However, it is quite possible to have multiple points of gravity in one localized area, such as a the rim of a black-hole, the average solar system… Mcdonalds. The usual. However, Blank It is not usual. It is a universe that operates by different rules. Thus you end up with localized gravity that is one room. And they interact.
Which the end result is that Lemmo, Aeric and Marina are standing on the Ceiling/Floor due to the first point of gravity. And yet Marina’s hair and Aeric’s Jacket are dangling downwards because they are being affected by the second gravitational point.
Lemmo and his hat are not affected by Lemmo’s AA-Field. His Absolute Awesome Field. It is this theorized field that allows for Lemmo to do things such as walk on Purple Water and not lose his hat. Ever.
*Huff Huff Huff* Now, that I have gone into tedious length and detail… Anyone care to argue? :V
@Arwael: Thank you. I was looking for some fanart of Lemmo and Aric when I found it. There’s not really any fanart, sadly.
As for your theory, that is…really well thought out. There’s only one thing that I want to bring up. Someone pointed out at some point that shoes seem to be a factor here. Lemmo could walk on the water, but Aric couldn’t. Aric had lost his shoes at that point. Now he has shoes again and they’re all able to stand on the ceiling. But then again, maybe that has nothing to do with it. We may never know.

Looks like we were right about the Robot City…
May 24th, 2011 at 2:21 am
Also, I’m strangely sad at the disappearance of Lemmo’s “woody”. Heheh. XD
May 24th, 2011 at 2:43 am
Gravity pulls their clothes and hair down to the robots but they still stick to the ceiling? I love this comic.
May 24th, 2011 at 2:49 am
Deific golden lizard meets automaton Dilbert while the laws of physics take hallucinogens. I like it.

Whaaaa???? They’re standing upside down as if gravity is reversed, yet gravity is still making Marina’s hair hang down!! Which way is down!?!?
May 24th, 2011 at 4:37 pm
I’m not sure what’s stranger — the insides of the dragon, or the robots working in cubicles and carrying paperwork.
But of course, I should stop being surprised. This is Blank It, after all. :D
I can’t wait to see the next strip!
May 24th, 2011 at 8:57 pm
Um, alright then. There are no words for that.

We should take a vote.
A, 2, or D, LOL!

So the Robomander throws them up into the air, then lowers it’s head again, causing them to fall up through it’s body. Did I see that right?
May 24th, 2011 at 9:47 pm
The cubicles are definitely a nice touch. :)

Marina’s skirt stays in place because of the power of PG rating.
May 27th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
i would say it’s just artist’s prefference that keeps that skirt in place
May 27th, 2011 at 3:44 pm
I almost laughed at Marina’s gravity-defying, PG-rated dress. I might start to think she doesn’t have legs, just feet attached to the skirt of her dress.
May 27th, 2011 at 4:17 pm
Note also the guys shirts do not fall up at the base near the stomach. Maybe the gravity does not affect clothes. Effect? One of those two.
May 27th, 2011 at 4:21 pm
Wait, no, fail observation. Aric’s coat. Hmm… SELECTIVE gravity?
May 27th, 2011 at 8:46 pm
Intriguing…
I’m assuming they’re now in the… *ahem* business end *[end]ahem* of the robolizard?
May 27th, 2011 at 9:13 pm

May 27th, 2011 at 11:54 pm
I think that gravity in Blank It comes from wherever you perceive the floor to be. Or, really, whichever direction you perceive to be “down”.
…But yet, hair and Aric’s shirt are affected…
Or maybe we’re all crazy and gravity DOES NOT EXIST.
May 28th, 2011 at 6:27 am
Well, that’s just a wierd interior.
May 29th, 2011 at 2:34 am

everyone’s a pervert. And I do think it’s the power of the pg ratiing keeping it in place.
May 29th, 2011 at 4:56 pm
maybe it’s pins holding it in place. or a wooden structure on the inside.
