-{{w|Amazon Prime Air}} is a {{w|drone}}-based delivery system by Amazon.com currently being rolled out to cities,  but at the time was still in its conceptual stage. While on one level he thinks the idea is cool, [[Cueball]] worries about living in a sci-fi dystopia, with those drones flying all around him, tracking his actions, etc. In the third panel, [[Megan]] suggests sending a message to Congress, suggesting a law for making the stealing of drones legal. This would alleviate the problem of drones flying around everywhere because if they did people would catch them to use for themselves. In the final panel Megan begins to search for {{w|butterfly nets}} so they are ready to catch the microdrones when the law to make it legal to steal the drones goes through.

+The title text implies that Amazon has seen this idea coming; they've marked butterfly nets as "out of stock", to prevent prospective drone thieves from acquiring them. Alternatively, it could be taken to mean that:
-*Amazon is out of stock of butterfly nets due to everyone purchasing them to catch drones with, implying many people had the same idea like Megan.
