Mitch Connor is the name of a con man who possesses Eric Cartmans hand on two occasions. Cartman is shown to truly think he is real, as he talks to Mitch when alone; Mitch even " sleeps " with Ben Affleck while Cartman sleeps. At the end of Mitches first appearance in " Fat - Butt and Pancake Head ", Mitch apparently commits suicide by taking a cyanide tablet, but appears again in " 200 " and " 201 ", trying to get money by selling Muhammad's Goo, once again under the guise of Jennifer Lopez.

Cartmans unhealthy mind could have made up Mitch and believed him to be real out of a desperate attempt to have a friend who wouldn't insult, one who he could have total control. However, Mitch says things that conflict with Cartman, they argue when alone, Mitch does things that Cartman is most likely unaware of ( like sleeping with Ben Affleck ), and Mitch even has memories of his own, such as his being in The Vietnam War.

In " Volcano ", Cartman says that he was in Nam, meaning Vietnam; this could be Mitch Connors influence on Cartman and the time when Mitch first enters Cartman, or just the birth of Mitch through Cartman. Mitch could the soul of a man who went into Cartman for an unknown reason, and slowly got stronger until he took control of Cartans left hand. The reason for Mitch not nearly killing Cartman like Kenny did could be because Kenny has a background leading to Cthulhu, while Mitch is just an ordinary spirit. Spirits have been seen before, making it possible that Mitch is a spirit.

Mitch does not appear in The Imaginationland Trilogy; if he was imaginary, something made up by Cartman, then he should have appeared, unless he just wasn't seen. Mitches lack of appearance, on both the good and evil sides, means that he was not imagined by Cartman, meaning that Mitch is in fact a real person.
