I seem to recall it being a thing that Anthony was involved in the Surma-Renard plot on the basis of thinking something really ought to be done about Renard, but I might be misremembering. The point is that the two of them have a history, and considering how much Rey hates Anthony, if the feeling is at all mutual Anthony would certainly have a Plan to resolve the Renard Problem as he sees fit.

Actually, it appears the people who had the most to do with Renard-Surma stuff where the Donlans. Anthony is suspiciously absent from that part of the story.

Anthony doesn't need to sleep. When his day's duties are complete, he simply stands in an empty room, staring blankly at the wall until morning and it irritates him that Annie doesn't do the same.

The chair had been damaged and its cushion lost some of its fluff. Tony repaired it by using the guts of the wolf plush.

Well if he's in that chair he's sitting curled up like a cat, it'd be good to stand up and stretch his legs out.

Could be someone else has already swapped Renard with an empty toy (hence him being unresponsive to Anthony) and this isn't even Anthony's place.

This is an intriguing idea. I could see Antimony's declaration that she would free him if he wanted it as giving a loophole to let him free himself as soon as he genuinely wanted it. If this is the case, I think it would be Eglamore helping him.

I don't think that's the case, though. Those last two panels seem really ominous to me. The feeling of dread each update is weaker this chapter, but I'm still feeling it.

Lmbo guys it's an establishing shot of the man Anthony's daily life in order to characterize him further. The next strip will be seeing the rest of his Spartan yet tasteful household decor. He'll probably have some nice photos of his family and we'll learn more about him hooray.

I don't think Renard can go free, I do think that someone else could've done the sneaking and stealing first. This does look like it could be Eglamore's place, but I think if anyone did the stealing it would be Jones. Or hell, maybe Brinnie comes in place to help with that. She can teleport too so she can do sneaky stealy things without being noticed.

Either way "someone stole and replaced Renard with a regular doll" seems the most likely scenario to explain Renard being unresponsive to Anthony.

The most likely reason for renard not responding to Anthony's orders is that his familial bond with Annie is stronger than the force that keeps him otherwise bound to her orders.

Yeah renard being spirited away by brinnie the character no one has seen for like thirty years fits the themes and ideas of the story a lot better than some cliche thing
