Chen is limited to the words he recorded to convey commands. Also there may be a specific reason Pete used that word. He was limited in the words he could use to switch Oasis' loyalty to him, but by that point he could use his own. So if he was indeed talking about ropes and blindfolds, 'bonds' would make more sense. But maybe he is not...

The following is a bit of a quibble regarding today's (30-Oct-2017) strip.
It might be his tongue catching fire but, in line 2 panel one, Chen says "Oassi". Shouldn't the, cut-off, word be "Oasi"?

Comic on 20-Oct-2017:
In the second-last panel
In the last panel, Roberts says "... smushed into too many teeny tiny pieces..."
Shouldn't the word be "smashed"?

Smush is more informal. Roberts is all about informal. Ah, it's one of those words from informal American English. While I've lived in the US for a while, I still don't always think of the more informal parts of the language in use here.

In the post about the dark Gwynn pawnz Pete claims to be a professional with 20 fingers. Perhaps this was what the kids these days call "humor"?

Almost missed this one until I was transcribing: Monday, November 27, 2017, Panel 2: "We're evacu tating (sic)." should be "We're evacuating."

Regarding the strip on 14-Dec-2017,
This is one of those words borrowed from French that changes with gender:
A man is a fiancé, thus Shankraft is Daiyu's fiancé.
A woman is a fiancée, thus Daiyu is Shankraft's fiancée.
