 This was the thirty-sixth comic originally posted to [[LiveJournal]]. The previous one was [[33: Self-reference]], and the next one was [[35: Sheep]].
 This comic plays off the pun between [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/stumped stumped], meaning confused or at a loss, and a {{w|Tree stump|tree stump}}, which is the remnants of a tree that has been cut down. Anyone snooping into his journal would be punished by such a terrible pun. In the title text, [[Randall Munroe|Randall]] says the pun is so terrible he doesn't even want to talk about it.
