What's The Coat Have For Him? How About A. . . Missing Friend?

I thought when Darkwing confiscated One-Shot's coat at the end of last month's issue, that was going to be the solution to Morgana going missing at the conclusion of the Duckthulu arc.

The bad guy's coat lets him draw any object once from some unknown dimension. Morgana, as far as we know, vanished into some other dimension in the process of banishing Duckthulu from theirs. When Darkwing started rooting through the coat I was sure he'd suddenly pull her out of the coat. OK, One-Shot hadn't thrown any people yet, but he had used a bird of some sort and a piranha, so living organisms can pass through from wherever the stuff comes from.

He could probably only pull one person through, though, since I doubt the coat would consider individuals to be different objects. In which case the odds are much better Darkwing accidentally drags one of his other selves back there, or some alternate dimension version of one of his arch-foes. Still, it's comics, improbable stuff happens all the time. Maybe we'll see Darkwing continue rummaging through the coat in his spare time. Can't see his ill-conceived attempt at becoming mayor leaving much time for it, though.
