This comic refers to the behavior of a CD/DVD drive of a desktop computer. When the trsy is opened and the user is reaching for the disc, a process or task on the computer can, at that exact inopportune time, request that the disc drive close its tray.
This results in a sort of "tug of war" between the user who is trying to remove the disc and the CD/DVD drive trying to retract.
With a reasonable amount of force by the user, most drives will detect the resistance and give up trying to close, ejecting the disc again.
