Image Text: The 2007 Bridge to Terebithia trailer put me off too much to see that particular movie, but I am cautiously optimistic about Where the Wild Things Are.
Michael Bay ruins everything.
Suspicion

In this comic, the main character is having online chats with what appears at first glance to be a woman. However, in requesting that they both "get tested". The woman on the other end of the computer does not pass a CAPTCHA test and is unable to prove she is a human.
This is an internet version of the Turing test. A spambot is a program that send out links (such as in the image text) to simulate an human's writing. This test is called "VK", which stands for Voight-Kampff, which is the machine in Blade Runner which determines human from replicant.
In using the phrase "get tested", the comic is making a pun that refers both to the CAPTCHA test above and the STD test that couples will take to make sure they are physically clean.
Anatomy Text

Image text: For many of the anatomy pictures on Wikipedia, I think this is actually not far from reality. They only look all formal and professional due to careful cropping.
In this comic, these two people are taking anatomy photos for Wikipedia in a TGI Fridays. Before putting them on Wikipedia, they are "carefully cropped" to make them look professional.
The comic is speculating about how Wikipedia anatomy photos are taken and that they are probably taken under much less professional circumstances than we are lead to believe.
