  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Clark and Fischer (C&amp;F) discuss how people interact with social robots in the context of a general analysis of interaction with characters. I suggest that a consideration of aesthetic illusion would add nuance to this analysis. In addition, I illustrate how people's experiences with other depictions of characters require adjustments to C&amp;F's claims.</jats:p>
