Fred the Clown #[nn]
In "Dummies," Fred the Clown brings his ventriloquist dummy to Mugwhump's Theatre for a job interview, only to find it leaving cryptic, cutting notes behind as they travel. When Fred, hurt and frustrated, abandons the dummy en route, he’s left with a strange emptiness—until he returns to reclaim it, only to discover it’s vanished. Roger Langridge writes, draws, inks, and letters this quietly unsettling tale, with his own cover art capturing the eerie stillness of a moment that changes everything.
