How about an imaginative friend.

I think Jarvis’s friendship is imaginary

Phoebe’s unicorn is not made up either. She’s spoken to many people including Phoebe’s parents.

There was a Super Bowl commercial for an upcoming movie called IF, which (we find out at the end of the spot) refers to imaginary friends.

Spud in “Wallace the Brave” recently gave up his imaginary friend, Gary. “Sandwich, Sir?”

Recent “Peanuts” reruns had Snoopy twirling his ears to fly like a helicopter. If that’s not imaginary, nothing is.

Then the giant rabbit has been already taken

Off to Google “Sopwith Camel”

We all know who’ll get the job taking care of it.

What if Jarvis is imaginary?

I think Lucy Van Pelt would be the right kind of friend for Sedgwick,but she would need to raise her price for therapy.

Imaginative, not imaginary.

Is Barney or Clyde the imaginary friend?

He needs a Russian Dancing Bear, who also works for Putin.

Anyone remember “Spunky and Tadpole”? It was a long time ago, but as I vaguely recall, a parent would say goodnight to the child and his teddy bear before closing the door, then the bear would transform into a real bear and the two would go off on adventures.

WHY is the ‘help’ sitting in the prescense of the master ?

That’s Snoopy’s imagination.

Well this makes me think Jarvis is not real at all.

At this point I think Jarvis is his imaginary friend because nobody else would ever be able to put up with him.

I am sure if he has a dog, it will be flying in a Lear Jet.

It was the Sopwith camel that was imaginary.

Elon Musk is imaginary, isn’t he? I’ve heard he’s up for sale. :)

I’m more impressed with Snoopy being able to sleep on the edge of a sloped roof top then the fact he flies a Sopwith Camel.

Snoopy is Charlie Brown’s imaginary friend. That … makes a lot of sense, actually.

This will never work. To be an imaginary friend, Sedgewick would have to consider them an equal or even smarter.

Does this mean he is aware that he is in a comic strip….or unaware that all those he mentioned are in comic strips ?

None of those are imaginary! Nobody else could see Hobbes for what he really is, is all. And everybody’s interacted with Marigold Heavenly Nostrils.

“Inchworm, Inchworm, measuring the marigolds…” (Danny Kay, H.C. Andersen)

Charles Schulz (Minneapolis 11.26.1922 – Santa Rosa 2.12.2000)

Sounds more like an imaginative friend.
