Can anyone explain the use of the word "toggle" in this
cartoon strip?

(The context is that the guy addressed can't hear the
command because he's listening to loud music: more detail
available by clicking back from

I assume that it's a use of the meaning "release by a toggle
switch" but that doesn't help me understand it.
TIA
