Um, this is a cartoon. Cartoons, both traditionally and historically, employ metaphor and hyperbole to make their points, otherwise, they wouldn’t be cartoons.
In other words, cartoons are not exercises in physics-classroom instruction. It is assumed that those who are looking at cartoons know this and understand that cartoons use artistic devices which are not to be taken to be literally true. Meaning pigs can’t fly, neither can wheelchairs, and Hawking can’t survive without a space suit in oxygen-less space.
As to heaven … hell, I’m an atheist but, in this case, I wasn’t doodling heaven; I was doodling a black hole.
