Her Imaginary Friends

The list of her imaginary friends is as follows:

  • Damn All: Made of a newspaper crossword puzzle and financial reports with multiple eyes and a big smile.
  • Darling-Come-Home: Wears an apron and has the head of a lightbulb's picture. Damn All's wife.
  • Flying Robert: A ghost baby balloon thing. Damn All's son. A reference to a poem in Der Struwwelpeter by Heinrich Hoffmann
  • The Inky Boys: Three people made up of ink. Another reference to Der Struwwelpeter, specifically the poem 'Die Geschichte von den schwarzen Buben'
  • Pretty Miss Dot: Has lipstick fingers, a helmet over her head covered with lips and curlers, a sweater with a big "D" on it, and shoes that have skulls stitched into them.
  • Vegans: Three rhyming girls in tribal masks with deer legs who can-can.
  • Paddle the Sky: A dark swirling mass of hands with paddles.
  • Dark as the Morning: A shadowy, eyeless smoke being with a mouth filled with fangs.

  • Honey Pie: Made up of a beehive with branches for arms and legs, and a honey pot for a head.
  • Spinner: Spinner was actually a member of the Doom Force, a one-shot special that Grant Morrison wrote which was a cross between the Doom Patrol and X-Force. She appeared in the imaginary version of the Doom Patrol Dorothy summoned to protect her.
  • Polly Polly Tinker Boy
  • Cowboy Doll Bookface
  • Rockabye Baby
  • Baby Twig Lady
