I somehow misread “remarkable” as “relatable” in the post and was all “What? There is nothing in the world more relatable than seeing an animal stranger, pointing at it, and saying what type of animal it is! It even makes me relate to a carrot man.”
“Who” was right. It’s like an interrogative pronoun: where you would use “he/she” if you knew who you were talking about, you use “who,” and if you would use “him/her,” it’s “whom.”
If “whom” was the correct word to use there “who” wouldn’t actually be a word, because “whom” would be used in all cases.
TL:DR, “whom” is a much rarer word than your average armchair grammarian thinks.
I mentally correct misuse of who/whom all the time, but I know it doesn’t really matter so I leave it alone.
This, however, is hilarious – trying to correct someone’s grammar and then getting schooled yourself on standard usage.
A Flaming Carrot reference is always justified.

Also,
What’s with Carrottop?
Is that a man with a carrot for a head?
How is Jason not dead
By still being alive.
As long as your arms are around a superhero, you can survive anything. This is law.
Sal and those she embraces at the moment are invulnerable while she’s blasting.

So, who was hit? I’m thinking Sal; she strikes me as the sort of woman who would treat a through-and-through from a rifle bullet as a ‘flesh wound’.
Jason was shot in the shoulder a few strips ago. You can see in the first panel he’s still bleeding.
I believe that should be *whom* was hit

She should taste it to make sure it’s blood.
Hope this is not Chris’s blood!
