357 – Unintelligible
Meet Verona. Hope you have your QR Code readers handy!
So, a bit of background for those who don’t know what this is about.
I first drew Moa five years ago as some sort of doodle in a comic creator hangout. Then I thought more about her, gave her a friend, and started drawing the two of them semi-regularly, hoping I could make a short comic with them someday that’s been nicknamed Frivol-X by our regulars on the Discord server.
This someday is now. :)
Please vote for me on Top Web Comics!
Buy my a coffee on Ko-Fi!

Hi Verona! Nice to meet you at last :)
Oh my, Izumi is a lucky girl ;)
I don’t have a smartphone or a tablet so I have no QR reader. Does any kind soul want to help me out?
=(
First one is “Hi girls”. The second one means that she’s going to have tons of sex with a crewmate and that she has a lot of toys to try for that.
And yet she complains about being lonely. Either she doesn’t like Izumi at all, or Izumi just isn’t much fun.
Neither! She just justifies her spending time with Izumi because things are otherwise boring in outer space.
Never used QR Code, does your phone automatically have it or is it an app you download?
Both, it depends on your phone and Operative System. Newer ones have it included, usually in the Camera or Assistant. You can try and point your camera at the QR on the comic and see what happens.
In all cases you can install a third party reader, there are many in all the stores.
For desktop there’s add-ons for the desktop browsers. Or you can use online readers, although many of them expect to read the QR code using your webcam some allow you to give them an image. You will need to save the comic image on your computer, edit the image to save the QR code in a separate file, and upload that to the QR reader site.
The best online one I could find was https://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx
This one can even take the whole comic and locate the QR code inside it on their own. Sadly it expects to be only one code so it will find the first QR (the smaller one in panel 2) translate it and stop. To translate the second one you will need at the very least edit the comic to wipe-off the first QR.
Hope it helps :)
It does, my PC doesn’t have an inbuilt mic or camera and my phone doesn’t mention anything about a QR feature, but since my phone is a Spanish tough-phone, I’m not too surprised.
Ok, how am I supposed to use my phone’s qr reader to look at a qr code on its own screen?
As far as I know newer browser as Chrome for iOs and FireFox for Android have it included, never used them myself though, not sure if they can “see” the QR inside a bigger image like the comic.
You’re not supposed to. :P
Use your computer to read the comic and scan it with your phone. Or ask a friend. Or just realize you’re not really supposed to understand her anyway and the QR Code is just an added bonus. :)
I did it on my phone using Google lens.
Scan the screenshot.
Panel 3 : seems like *someone* can understand what’s being said…
It sure can get lonely in space…
Moa probably has universal subtitles in that eye visor of hers.
They must have some pretty interesting toys given how advanced their technology is.
Yeah, their dynamics totally rocks.
Verona looks familiar….
Familiar? How?
… Praise the machine spirit?
You’re into 40k now?
Clearly I should be frequenting the Discord more!
First code: Hi, girls!
Second code: Oh, I’m going to see Izumi in her cabin tonight and we’ll have a ton of sex! I even got fun toys we can use. Things can get lonely in this station.
Daniel here. I was wondering why Screwball had frozen up after reading this page, guess the Cybertronian has a QR Reader downloaded into his head. Least I know now too, thanks for the translation…
I didn’t know that QR codes came in that size! TIL
I guess I wasn’t too far from their actual limit.
In that size yes, but bigger ones can go up to a bit more than 4,000 (four thousand) characters. That means Verona can read aloud a chapter of A Game of Thrones almost in one go :P
So you could put a whole tweet into one code.

I just found this comic a few days ago, and just wanted to say I really enjoy it, especially how cute and sweet it is. Thank you for creating this, sir.
I apologize that this is a bit off topic for the current strip.
Whoa, getting a newcomer in these hiatus times? Welcome here, mysterious person, and thank you so much!
