Dan Thompson‘s Brevity usually involves a pun. In this one, we have someone sweating because of the Captcha. But the man isn’t a Frankenstein’s monster. Tyrell Property is a British real estate company, but Dan Thompson is an American cartoonist living in North Carolina. The two words seem to be Epslo and vector. EPSLO stands for “End of Program Student Learning Outcomes.” It refers to the specific competencies and skills that students are expected to achieve upon completing an educational program, particularly in fields like nursing. These outcomes guide the curriculum and assessment of students to ensure they are prepared for entry-level practice.
That’s a hint at the joke: Epslo would ordinarily be assessed at the end of a program, but here they are being asked for it in order to enter the program.
Can the joke really be this convoluted and obscure?
Update, courtesy of commenter Tstyle7B on GoComics: “The Tyrell Corporation is a famous fictional high-tech firm from the Blade Runner universe, founded by Eldon Tyrell and based in Los Angeles. It is known for designing and manufacturing humanoid, genetically engineered androids called “replicants” for use as slaves and soldiers in Off-world colonies.”
So, after all this, it’s not a CIDU for me anymore. But maybe it will be for others, or maybe having spent this much time on this post, I’m going to post it, regardless. [not “irregardless”]
That still leaves us with the unanswered question: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Comics I Don't Understand 
Thought it was a pun on “Epstein vector”. The guy thinks he has been found out from the recently released files.
It took me a second to recognize that the guy was a caricature of Deckard from Blade Runner, but once it hit me I can’t unsee it. The outfit, Harrison Ford’s slightly-twisted nose, etc. The joke being that (in most of the 1,000 versions of it film) it’s ambiguous whether or not he’s a replicant himself.
I recognized Harrison Ford right away.
It’s a Blade Runner joke. The Voight-Kampf test was supposed to prove one was human by provoking an emotional response.
I feel that it is more likely that androids dream of electric women.
He’s not sure whether he’s a robot or not.
Also, the big debate among Blade Runner fans was whether Deckard himself was a replicant (~robot).
It looks more like Eps10 (Eps – Ten) than EpsLO. Which reminds me of the XKCD strip in which someone thinks they have been recruited into a secret society called “Pen Fifteen” because when they woke up, PEN15 was written on their arm.
Me, I’m fascinated by the green EPSLO line not getting the memo about wrapping.
