It’s not weightless… he just squeezed too hard and it’s taking a really long time to come down. ( I wonder if that is Salmon or Pink? See today’s “Pickles”)
“Why is some stuff apparently weightless and other stuff is not?”
An object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by an exterior force. If the table is put on the ground, it is going to stay there (“weighing” less than on earth) but staying there nonetheless.
H.G. Wells, in First Men In The Moon, showed a greater understanding of the effects of gravity in space than people who have lived to have seen its effects (on TV at least).
The moon is a vacuum, so there would be some “expulsion” of the paint if there were any air in the paint container when it was uncapped, wouldn’t there?

He’d have to worry more about frozen paint than weightless.

Why are you guys trying to study and understand physics from a comic?

Cool! The oil paint oozing into space. Far Out!

Yes, I can see where that would be a problem.

Actually, the paint would freeze only if it’s in the shadow. Under the sun, it would boil!
