^ : Half of the moon is always in sunlight. Which half varies. But one-half (actually a little less than half), the far side, never sees the earth, So even in a new moon, the side facing earth gets reflected earthlight. But at full moon, that far side gets neither sunlight nor earthlight. So it is truly the dark side of the moon then.
But none of that has to do with the message of the cartoon, which is about the “dark side” of a society.
