Another Tricky Who-Whom Usage

First, here’s the comic. First panel:
It’s supposed to be “to whom,” (whomever) right? No! Not this time!
Remember the rule: go from the inside out.
“Whomever” is the subject of the clause whose verb is “wants.” It’s “Whoever wants one.”
The “to” is just a preposition with the noun clause “whoever wants one” as its object.
Tricky!
