| Green Flash |
 Title text: The exact cause of the phenomenon is unknown, but it's thought to be linked to atmospheric refraction and you getting a really cool car. |
[edit] Explanation
Green flash refers to an optical phenomenon which occurs at twilight (early dawn or late dusk), and which causes the sun to briefly flash a green colour.
In the comic, Black Hat attempts to distract Cueball with the sunset, so that he may knock Cueball out with the bottle in his hand and steal his new Tesla Roadster.
[edit] Transcript
- [Black Hat and Cueball are standing on the beach, watching the sun set. Black Hat is holding something, perhaps a cosh, in his left hand.]
- Black Hat: Did you know that if you stare at the sun just as it sets, you can see a green flash? And feel a sharp blow to the head, and hear the faint hum of me driving away in your new Tesla Roadster?
