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.
