Another MILB (Mothers I Like to Bound) and  we have Alice Mitchell of Hank Ketchum's Dennis the Menace.  She has been kidnapped and left in some room just wearing stockings and high heel shoes.
Alice Mitchell, née Johnson
 is Dennis' stay-at-home mother Alice, who is usually the reassuring 
figure to whom Dennis can run when things get too overwhelming, ready to
 greet him with a warm hug. Although she grew up among animals on a 
chicken ranch, a running gag is that Alice Mitchell has a phobia of 
snakes. Another running gag involves Dennis's ever-changing parade of 
new babysitters; no one will take the job twice. Alice is also known for
 punishing Dennis's misbehavior by having him sit in the corner in a 
rocking chair for timeout, although a few times she has instituted 
tougher disciplinary measures, such as spanking, where afterward Dennis 
is shown crying or grumbling about the adversity.
Dennis the Menace
 is a daily syndicated newspaper comic strip originally created, 
written, and illustrated by Hank Ketchum. It debuted on March 12, 1951, 
in 16 nMILBewspapers and was originally distributed by Post-Hall 
Syndicate. It is now written and drawn by Ketcham's former assistants, 
Marcus Hamilton (weekdays, since 1995), Ron Ferdinand (Sundays, since 
1981), and son Scott Ketcham (since 2010), and distributed to at least 
1,000 newspapers in 48 countries and in 19 languages by King Features 
Syndicate. The comic strip usually runs for a single panel on weekdays 
and a full strip on Sundays. 
The comic strip became so 
successful that it was adapted to other popular media, including several
 television shows, both live-action and animated, and several feature 
films, including theatrical and direct-to-video releases. 
Coincidentally, a UK comic strip of the same name debuted on the same day, though the issue in question bore the cover date of March 17. The two are not related and change their names subtly in each other's respective home bases to avoid confusion.
