Do imaginary friends age?

If their insides deteriorated with time as PBL stated, how has Uncle Pockets been able to stay alive and kicking after every generation of children he's been through? (credit to LaBlooGirl for mentioning that.)

Just because they can age, doesn't mean that they have to do so at the same rate as us humans do! I mean, if a house fly were to have the intelligence that we do, and look at how long WE live, compared to its species, we would seem to be virtually immortal! And if the same could apply to a Galapagos giant tortoise, it would probably feel sorry of us having such a pitifully brief lifespan! Uncle Pockets has probably for certain outlived his creator, and has seen many other kids grow up and grow old, but that doesn't mean that he will live forever. Some Imaginary Friends, at least, just have much longer lifespans than humans do.
