Friday is going for something simple today.

Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics. Remember to vote EACH day.

Oh, that is so sad. Such a big part of Oasis' life, gone in an instant.

On the plus side Kusashi looks a lot less sinister without her mask. It's really weird, actually. She does the same things as before but with a friendly face.

So, things have gone about as badly as they reasonably could have. Bun Bun and Aylee are still at large. As is the major heavyweight of the good side, Gwynn. But the leadership is captured, and Sasha has Chaz. And the remaining good guys have no Intel on what's going on.

What the heck is Bun-Bun doing? Maybe Aylee is still incapacitated by her wounds, but Bun-Bun has certainly had enough time to come to.
Sure, he's not stupid. He sees he's outnumbered. Tough as Bun-Bun is, one-on-one combat with Oasis or Kusari is tough. He couldn't take on Oasis and 2 Kusaris in a direct assault. Not without packing some serious firepower (actually if he got Chaz away from them, that would probably be sufficient). Still, there's no way he could just let this stand, so when's he going to make a move?

It hasn't been that long in universe. Maybe an hour or two. The drugs are likely still in his system.

I keep wanting to think Kusashi is going to turn and help them. Mentally, I know we've been shown otherwise in a myriad of ways, but I don't know how they are going to get out of this

As Eagle299 said:


Who is left that can help them?

And I still don't think Oasis could have completely forgotten...maybe (spec)

Kusari should not have Chaz. If feels so wrong for anyone but Torg to have him.

Hah, strategic arm in front of boobs.

And did she steal Riff's black outfit?

That is sad. Forgetting about Torg has its benefits in addition to being sad, but being under Schlock's control is just sad. Although I do have to wonder what the long-term effects of something like that will be.

It does look like Bun-bun was already waking up when he and Aylee landed, but it's only been a few minutes. He still might be pretty well incapacitated? He recovers from things that he probably shouldn't recover from, but that dart gave a shock designed for a much larger body.

All of Schlock's commands seem to have worked. Oasis no longer is trying to kill Kusari, even though one of them seems to have an H-C logo on her shirt. So disabling Override B-1 seems to have worked as well. And he did ask Kusashi to bring the watch.

Oasis woke up some time ago. Seems like he would have also by now.

The disablement of override B1 seems to have worked. I'd say it's not yet certain that the transfer of control to Schlock worked.

The question is whether “free yourself of your bonds” had unintended side effects.

Oh this isn't good! This isn't good at all! Oh, I am so worried about Torg and Riff and Oasis!

"Yes. Who is Torg?"

MY HEART. ;( ;(

And Kusari's casual 'Yes He's incapacitated, shall I kill him?" - Like I EXPECT that from Kusari but it's so weird now that I apply Sasha's face to it. Also weird to see Oasis helping Kusari. AHHHH!!!

And I also cant help but laugh at Torg in the oasis outfit still.

Shlock: "I think I want him to see."

…see what?

DUN DUN DUNNNNN!!!

It took me a long time to figure out what was happening in the bottom left panel.
