An SMBC comic. In the single main panel, a man with light, flame-like hair throws his arms up and shouts maniacally while a huge speech balloon looms over him like a shadowy threat. He rattles off a villain's roll call of prepositions: "Of, from, to, containing, by, during, related to, about, some amount, any amount, with, in, as, than, due to, for, since, out of, possessed by, operating in, and sometimes people just say me as a filler word! You can only tell by context AHAHAHAHAHA!" A caption below reads: "Prepositions are the villains of every language acquisition story." Votey (aftercomic): two dark, sinister silhouettes stand side by side; one announces, "Now, meet my henchman, set phrases that even native speakers don't understand!"
