Children in their formative years have a lot of imagination. [[IJustWantToHaveFriends They also need guidance, support, love, and companionship]]. And stimulation for their imaginations. Happy, precocious children who are bored or just have more imagination than their parents can keep up with will dream up an imaginary friend - or even more than one.

The title character is the imaginary friend of a five year old girl named Lucy, taking on the appearance of a short tempered workaholic who has a problem with pornography, cocaine and beating up his assistant. This contrasts with the plant imaginary friends of the character Larry, though Larry is somewhat suicidal. This may be based in part on Adam Gopnik's 2002 essay "[[https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/09/30/bumping-into-mr-ravioli Bumping Into Mr. Ravioli]]", about his daughter's [[WorldBuilding paracosm]] featuring her imaginary friend who is often too busy to spend much time with her.

However, as mentioned in the source of the quote above, for better or worse, imaginary friends are becoming a thing of the past. Possibly due to widespread pop-psychology and a lot of hysteria in the '90s about SplitPersonality, having an imaginary friend was regarded as an indication of mental illness. Some doctors really believed it was an early indicator of dissociating personality, which is supposedly a flight from reality in response to trauma. MoralGuardians warn that they're a sign of DemonicPossession. None of this is true; [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imaginary_friend numerous sociological studies on imaginary friends]] have concluded that children, teens and adults have them for many reasons. If we stop ''mentioning'' our imaginary friends, that doesn't mean that the friends aren't still around.
