At the risk of upsetting the Kirby fans - and I've been one for a very long time - I'm not sure how the Guardian got in that position. I don't even know who the Guardian is, frankly, but I'm sure he didn't have the super-secret power of Adhesive Forearms, so I don't think he's sticking to the ceiling.

Also note how the lower-class boys are drawn, as opposed to the sons of the ruling class.
