collective gasp

........
maybe a good jog (read full out run) would be a better way to get out of there?

Yes, Art and Pip are about to lose the tag of 'murderer' but, based on panel 4, I'm thinking that 'kidnapper' is about to go on their rap sheets.

RANGE OWNER: "They took the princess!"

COPPER: "Okay... the... 'princess'. Name."

I know, rule of funny, but how can the "dragon" see well enough to tell?

So when they fix their current problem (Rebecca Mace) they're going to have the same problem, again - just with a few extra crazies thrown into the mix?

I was thinking more of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Now for Rebecca to take one look at the clothes dummy, "That's not Vanessa! That's Jeanette! I hated Jeanette! What did you do to Vanessa, you murderers!"

Or perhaps she is (mostly) sane now, and she's actually accusing him of murdering her career.

It would serve Art right.

That's what it looked like to me. Invasion of the Princess Snatchers.

So, she's going to get her dummy, just as these guys show up...


Art and company might want to seek cover...

Given the reaction of the field staff, one wonders if the this particular dressmakers' dummy has some sort of eldrich power to arouse strong attachment in some people.

I did recommend that they involve Vanity in this matter at the outset!
