Do not confuse a cone with a koan.
I assume it's obvious enough from the previous strip showing Steve and Terry* that this is a flashback sequence. If not, I'm telling you now, so you have no excuse.
* i.e. Ignoring the Charity Collector Guy in Rome.
The photo is a public domain image of another cone.
I zoomed in from the first panel to the second, thus putting the nose of the train closer to the right edge of the panel, creating a subtle illusion that it had moved to the right since the first panel. And then in the third and fourth panels I continued moving right edge of the background to the right, until in the last panel you can't see the nose of the train at all, so there's no point of reference to show that it isn't really moving. The result is - I hope - that at first glance your subconscious accepts that the train is moving from panel to panel.
