'''Imaginary friends''' are psychological manifestations typically employed by toddlers to practice social skills. Most children grow out of the phase; [[Chris]], on the other hand, retained his belief in imaginary friends well into adulthood, still holding the belief at {{Age|1982|2|24}} years of age.
'''Warhol / Chris Chan''', subtitled '''The Lifespan of American Pop Culture, or The Suppression of [[Reality]]''', is a self-published [[fan]] book by Dan Lashomb which subjectively compares the output of Chris with renowned modern artist {{w|Andy Warhol}}.


Chris has always had difficulties distinguishing fiction from [[reality]] due to his [[autism]]. His imaginary friends were originally an occasional source of companionship, as well as a coping mechanism for moments of [[stress]], such as the infamous example of invoking [[Sonichu]] to [[Mary Lee Walsh]] during his college days. As he entered his mid-30s, Chris retreated more often to his imaginary world as a reaction to the downward spiral of his life, ignoring the real-world problems of his [[debt]] and lack of independent living experience, resulting in a vicious feedback loop in which Chris's real-world problems worsen while his devotion to his imaginary friends increases. The machinations of the [[Idea Guys]] and the [[enablers]] [[Teen Troon Squad|that]] [[Jacob Sockness|followed]], whose chief tactic is role-playing as Chris's imaginary friends, further cemented the belief into Chris's mind.
The book was published via Amazon on 19 [[May 2021]].

Chris's devotion to his imaginary friends outweighed his real-life friendships with his [[Pokémon League friends]], and he gradually lost contact with the latter to focus on his fantasy world.
