Goodreads asked R. Lawson Gamble:

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?

R. Lawson Gamble I'd have to say Sherlock Holmes and Watson, the latter a perfect foil for his driven, frenetically brilliant friend. As Sherlock himself said, once his methods are explained, they seem hardly astonishing. If Holmes had no Watson, forcing him to explain his own methods, readers would be less awed. We get to be Watson, observe through his eyes, and be appropriately astonished.
