Transcript:
Andre: What's the matter with you? Petey: I saw Ernesto today. He's imaginary right? Andre: Yup! I keep that in mind whenever I see him. Petey: You see him? Andre: Most people see him, but nobody wants to admit it. So admitting you see him demonstrates your sanity, probably. Petey: Thanks, I feel better.

He a group imaginary person. This seems like the perfect opening for some political snakiness, but I think I’ll keep it to myself.

Am I an imaginary friend? People generally act like I’m not there.

@cdward: we appreciate your restraint.
Yeah, now that it’s mentioned, I think Andre does have a little Wild Thing in him …

I appreciate the panel separator between panels 2 and 3, combining them as it does. A nice touch.

When I was a kid, we all shared a bunch of group hallucinations/misconceptions. Ernesto is DEFINITELY still imaginary. And, of course, he’s a comic strip character, which kind of seals the deal.

JHSayers - well in that respect, yes, the whole cast is imaginary - from Richard Thompson’s weird and wonderful imagination. But within the context of the strip, I’m still convinced that Ernesto is imaginary.

Poor Ernesto….he will no doubt grow up with issues!

I’m so glad that Petey has Andre as a friend. He’s just what Petey needs.

Yes, this has to be mass hallucination syndrome!
I too, like the way the 2nd and 3rd panels are done.
