Alt Text: (For searchability): 3 part comic, drawn in a simple style. The first, leftmost panel has one character yelling at another: "@+_$^P&%!. The second comic has them continue yelling, with their hands in an exasperated position: “$#*@F% $$#!”. In the third comic, the character who was previously yelling has their hands on their head in frustration, to which the previously silent character responds: “Sorry, I don’t speak Perl”.
