Goodreads asked Randall B. Hicks:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

Randall B. Hicks When I think of a "couple" I assume husband/wife or something similar. But when I first saw this question the "couples" who popped into my mind were friendships. Since I'm a big fan of mystery/detective-type books, I thought of Robert Crais' Elvis Cole and Joe Pike, and from Robert Parker, Spenser and Hawk. In each instance, the two friends were in many ways polar opposites but their common underlying morality and great friendships made them very effective literary characters.
