The comic appears to be a reference to [[475: Further Boomerang Difficulties]], which was a sequel to [[445: I Am Not Good with Boomerangs]], which had a man throwing a boomerang that never returned. [[Cueball]] shoots an arrow off with a bow and a boomerang returns to him. This confounds him. As it was also a [[Cueball]] that threw the boomerang in the other comic, this may be the same Cueball that now finally has his boomerang return to him after a long time (464 comics and nearly three years later). This would really freak him out then.

The title text is a pun on how boomerangs always come back, along with how "The Return of X" is often used for movie names.
