"MikeWhy" may or may not be a sock puppet, but by all indications
Mr. Jute did use "Gray Glasser" as a sock puppet.

You're simply envious of the zipless rapport André has achieved with
this gloomy Midwestern soul.

Seriously though, I'm usually disappointed with fictional accounts of
how characters befriend one another. I can suspend disbelief when it comes
to friendship already achieved, or falling in love, or making alliances
of convenience, or suddenly developed antipathy, but I can't think of many
convincing portrayals of the subtle process of affiliation.
