So Trogdor was a dragon-man, when Strong Bad was younger.

[@asteroidrules]

I love how Strong Bad tries to avoid admitting he taped his brother to the ceiling, despite it actually being much more impressive to do that than it would be to trap him in an attic or stuff him in a vent.

[@grilledpook]

and by himself too! i would have thought strong mad helped him, it has to be against some rule of gravity for a strong of this magnitude to be stuck to the ceiling with just tape.

[@WindowshadeCure]

I had imaginary friends as a kid, but instead of making up my own I would just use my imagination to pull cartoon and puppet characters out of the TV and be friends with them. Sometimes I would also pretend to jump into the TV and join them on their adventures

[@reillymcwriting]

When I was younger, I had over 40 imaginary friends, all really detailed with full personality and backstory and whatnot. It turned out to be a mental disorder.

[@kiba_the_lucky]

Tell us about one.

[@frankvalentich5410]

RED Spy [Rex Bann] Well, one I remember clearly was a wolf. He stood at about 7ft, and his pelt was a range of brown and dull cream colours, with bright green eyes. I named him Angus (I think, it might have been Archer though) and he seemed to appear in times of anxiety or stress in my life. He never spoke or made any noise at all simply watched me, and the other people around me. He made subtle movements to communicate, like flicking his ears or lifting his paw slightly, but for some reason I knew what they meant, or just made them up 'cause gods know what was going through my head at the time. I faintly remember making something up about him being a guardian angel, appearing as a wolf because at the time I wasn't comfortable with most people and preferred animals. I once told a friend about him, and she told me he was a ghost of a dog who was murdered, and from there we made up a big, tragic backstory about his murder and why he was following me. It was all cool, but sadly that friend moved away. I never met another person who didn't judge me for having weird visions until I entered high school and discovered why I was having them. Then it was all cool.

[@frankvalentich5410]

bl0ndie Seeing how detailed the silhouette was, and how Coach seems to insist that his imaginary friend is real, I would say that it's a ghost. Or Schizophrenia.

[@BorisFangirl]

That sounds eerily in character.

[@frankvalentich5410]

BorisFangirl Not to mention the way that Mr. Blangcaster was shivering and moaning. What if Coach Z, a few years back, watched someone freeze to death in front of his eyes? That would mean that Mr. Blangcaster is a vision coming to him because he feels guilty, thinking that something could have been done to save the mans life. That would explain Coach's creepy tenancies, after all, people with PTSD are left mentally scarred and react to certain situations differently.
