Well, if she grew her hair longer, she could tie it around his rock & pull it up to her window, although the rock sure looks a lot bigger than her window.
Sisyphus: In Greek mythology, Sisyphus or Sisyphos was the founder and king of Ephyra. Zeus punished him for cheating death twice by being forced to roll an immense boulder up a hill only for it to roll down every time it neared the top, repeating this action for eternity.
A penalty from the gods for his trickery (check out the internet) so that he had to push a great boulder up a hill, only to be for it to tumble back to the bottom, and have him do it again. Apparently, a symbol of fruitless labours. Not quite sure (as she says) where all this is going to lead, according to the cartoon.
The way I heard it Sisyphus was a guy doomed in Hell to constantly have to explain classical Greek references to the young Spartans. Every day he thought he was making progress and then the next morning one of them would ask him who Odysseus was. :)

Instead of the rock, maybe he could try getting her a new refrigerator.

According to story, Rapunzel became a demanding and tricky woman. He’s better off keeping the rock.

I’m thinking Sisyphus is a Democrat trying to woo a Republican (Rapunzel) to a sane way of thinking, never to be successful.

I’d hate to be the pizza-delivery guy with an order for “Rapunzel, 34th floor, Granite Tower, Minnesota”.

Today, poor old Sisyphus would have to work on an Apple production line.
*God, will this line ever stop? I gotta pee!’’
Substitute ‘’Amazon warehouse" for ’’Apple production line’’, if so inclined.
