I know, morbid, but hey just a thought.

Coco's creator is probably dead, and yet she is still going on strong. Uncle Pockets' creator is almost certainly dead by now, unless he was created by old Mrs. Tremont(Madame Foster's sitter in "Foster's Goes to Europe"), since she is virtually fossilized! I'm sure that IF's CAN be killed; they have indicated a belief in having an immortal spirit or soul("Blooooooo"), they certainly fear things that can kill them, just as we do. I have little doubt that Jordan knew Wilt would be killed if Larry fell on him completely(instead of just his arm)at the ending of the basketball match-up. They can be injured, permanently, and as Ahnold put it in
Predator, "if it bleeds, we can kill it."
Speaking of aging, though, I noticed that Wilt DOES look somehow older now than he did in those flashback scenes. It's not just because he's missing an eye and arm, now, either. There is just this very subtle change to his face, something that was not there in those scenes where he and Jordan were playing ball together in the flashbacks. It's not like he has wrinkles or anything(though if he were "real", there would probably be a few lines and creases that weren't there to begin with), but there is just
something. It's true that his anquish and guilt he's carried all those years, not to mention untold physical pain he has to have suffered, could have resulted in those changes, but those things contribute to how fast a HUMAN ages, too-just look at photos of our American Presidents when they went into office and compare them to when they LEFT office, and compare those to an ordinary person's photos taken over the same duration of time.
