| 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. |
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 steal his new Tesla Roadster.
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?
