-[[Cueball]] is going outside for some fresh air because he wants to escape the {{w|Internet Troll|trolls}} of the {{w|Internet}}, which is known for hosting several hostile and unpleasant ideas and people. However, as he walks, some grass speaks up to insult him, and Cueball is upset to find that he hasn't escaped the negativity at all. (see [[1749: Mushrooms]] which involves an unusual occurrence of a vocalizing angry mushroom).

(see [[1749: Mushrooms]] which involves an unusual occurrence of a vocalizing angry mushroom).
 The title text expands on this, with him searching {{w|Google}} for how to "block the lawn". Blocking someone refers to a standard setting on websites and online services that can prevent certain users from communicating with you, but it is as yet unknown how this would work for a lawn insulting you. This is made ironic by the fact he is using the Internet to find an Internet technique (blocking) on a non-Internet object, while at the start of the comic, he just wanted to escape the Internet.

	The term "[https://www.bayeradvanced.com/articles/how-to-tell-if-your-lawn-needs-dethatching blocking]" is actually used in lawn-care to refer to techniques where sunlight is restricted from reaching the lower parts of the grass stems and to persuade the root system to grow deeper into the soil.

−	The negativity Cueball meets on-line is likely due to the results of the recent 2016 {{w\|United States presidential election}} and this one was released only three days before the {{w\|U.S. Electoral College}} voted for {{w\|Donald Trump}} to become the 45th president of the United States, and this was still a bit exciting as there where rumors/hopes that {{w\|Faithless electors in the United States presidential election, 2016\|some of the electors would not vote for Trump}}. (But only two changed away from Trump!) That this is likely is further supported with other recent comics. The first of these [[1761: Blame]] is almost a prequel to this one, as it is about being sad about what happens on-line. This comic here was thus the second sad comic following the election, culminating shortly after his {{w\|Inauguration of Donald Trump\|inauguration}} with a comic simply titled [[1790: Sad]]. (See more on other depressive comics [[Sad_comics\|here]].)

	Later in [[1802: Phone]], Cueball cannot go outside for a walk without bringing his phone as he cannot stand to be disconnected from his feed, which is the exact opposite of what he tries in this comic. Although in the title text he does try to disconnect, he then finds that this is also bad because it leads to social isolation.
