Petey: All the pool chairs had crud on them this time. Mom: Then why didn't you get in the pool, Petey? Petey: Chlorine makes my skin shrink. Mom: Oh, jeez, Petey> Alice, Don't drag your towel. Boy: Hello, Peter. Petey: Mom! It's the kid who's even weirder than me! Mom: Why don't you introduce your little friend? Petey: He's, um - Boy: Ernesto Lacuna, Mrs. Otterloop. Delighted to meet you! Mom: Would you like to join us for dinner, Ernesto? Five bean salad and hot dogs? Boy: Alas, I have a food allergy that manifests itself as a mild form of lycanthropy, so I must decline. Another time perhaps? Petey: You could see him too? I thought he might be imaginary. Mom: he's much too polite to be imaginary. ALICE! Stop dragging your towel! Alice: Boy, none of my imaginary friends wear two sweaters at the same time.

Ernesto introduces himself as Ernesto Lacuna to Madeline Otterloop. Clearly, Petey’s mom and Alice can see Ernesto.
(Sorry for the silly comment. I posted it so I can google this strip in the future as a reference.)
