In the title text, the fact that time passes much faster in Narnia than on Earth is mentioned. (Time does not pass at a constant rate compared to Earth time.) This could also be the case even if the portal in Black Hat's wardrobe accessed a different world than Narnia. So everything that is actually pushed to the other side of the portal would be disposed of very efficiently, as the trash could completely decompose within just a few Earth minutes. This would then explain how Black Hat can keep pushing more stuff into the other world: anything sent through the portal will decompose and vanish before he comes with his next load of trash. | In the title text, the fact that time passes much faster in Narnia than on Earth is mentioned.

β | The title text mention of {{w|Yucca Mountain}} is a reference to the {{w|Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository}}, a partially-built nuclear waste repository that has been defunded at the present time. Black Hat wants to contact those that wish to make such a repository and let them dispose of their radioactive waste through his "magical" portal, likely to make a profit for himself. If throwing trash into Narnia is terrible, radioactive waste would be far worse{{Citation needed}}. Of course in Earth time radioactive materials would soon decay back to background levels of radiation. This is thus another jab at all the world's environmental problems, as is also done with all the comics about [[:Category:Climate change|climate change]]. This comic could be a take on humans {{w|Marine_debris|dumping waste}} in the "endless" oceans, more specifically {{w|ocean disposal of radioactive waste}}. This was done in the past but is now banned, as Earth's oceans are not endless | + | The title text mention of {{w|Yucca Mountain}} is a reference to the {{w|Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository}}, a partially-built nuclear waste repository that has been defunded at the present time.
