I know it's just a webcomic but the KSP player in me hates how the engine bell sticks down past the landing legs
To be fair it's also blowing a sandcastle over on the moon. Where there's no atmosphere...
I think expanding exhaust gasses from the engine plume dissipating against the surface could do that if the castle was close enough. But then again, I'm not a physicist, just a KSP player
Buzz Aldrin saw the flag from Apollo 11 get knocked over by expanding exhaust gasses https://www.nasa.gov/history/alsj/ApolloFlags-Condition.html
