At the time that this comic was posted, the sky is predicted to be overcast during the eclipse, and Cueball expresses dissapointment as someone wishing to watch the Moon slowly block out the Sun (and not the clouds obscuring both). The off-panel voice points out the mild irony that he wanted to see something block out the Sun, so the clouds technically fit his wish, leading Cueball to exclaim that he has a specific taste for things blocking the Sun. |

Sun/Moon conjunctions are already quite rare, so that the balance against Sun/Moon/no-cloud probabilities isn't really so notable, essentially being the general difference between cloud and no-cloud on any average day for your chosen location. |
