 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, Hatman attempts to distract Stickman with the sunset, so that he may steal his new sports car.
Transcript
- [Hatman and Stickman are standing on the beach, watching the sun set. Hatman is holding something, perhaps a cosh, in his left hand.]
- Hatman: Did you know that if you stare at the sun just as it sets, you can see a green flash?
- Hatman: And feel a sharp blow to the head, and hear the faint hum of me driving away in your new Tesla Roadster?

Might a green flash to knock someone out, in combination with a blow to the head, might be a Harry Potter reference? --198.41.242.64 21:08, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
