I like the way you think, marguerite! Good observation.
The figure outlined with dashes isn’t actually invisible (like, say, a science fiction character). This guy is supposed to represent someone who “feels” invisible or marginalized in some way. I think most people have experienced at some time in their life the feeling that they don’t belong… or they’ve been treated as though they don’t belong.
I’m making a list of creators on gocomics (in no particular order) that take the time to answer reader questions or make comments on their own comics. Here’s my list so far. Did I miss anybody?
Pibgorn (Brooke McEldowney)
Bob the Squirrel (Frank Page)
Frog Applause (Teresa Dowlatshahi)
Cleats (Bill Hinds)
Eek (Scott Nickel)
Non Sequitur (Wiley Miller)
marguerite: Are you feeling “marginalized” by Bill Hinds?! I MUST INTERVENE. Bill Hinds is one of the nicest people EVER. His avatar is “buzztank” (“Buzz” Beamer, a character from Sports Illustrated for Kids and “Tank” McNamara, the strip that he has drawn for 30+ years). Try addressing Bill by name (or by his avatar) and ask him a question. I promise that he will answer you!
UPDATE: BILL HINDS HAS SINCE CHANGED HIS AVATAR FROM “buzztank” TO “Bill Hinds”. NO MORE CONFUSION!

Justin Thompson of Mythtickle - JUSTIN THOMPSON
Not 100% certain, but I believe this is Wiley Miller of Non Sequitur - nonsequitur
Lalo Alcaraz of La Cucaracha - lalo

If he’s invisible, why isn’t her arm showing through him?

Thank you for the explanation. I think we’ve all felt marginalized at one time or another.

I read ‘Cleats’ daily, and I’ve never noticed a comment from Bill Hinds.
