As anyone who readed Ender's Game know, "The enemy's gate is down". But it must be noted that mentioned gate was in a zero-gravity environment so the usual definition of down being the direction gravitation is pulling us was not applicable. -- Hkmaly (talk) 08:09, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Furthermore, the last panel might be a reference to Nietzsche's quote: "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you".

Additionally, it might also allude to the law of gravity, as it operates in the realm of Cartoon Physics. This interpretation would seem to match the 'perspective inversion' theme of the entire comic.
