As a long-time fan of the much-maligned sitcom ‘Scrubs’, I was always impressed with the strength of the central relationship between Doctors John Dorian and Chris Turk, to the point where the obligatory musical episode actually gave them their own theme song. With such a focus in fiction on relationships, finding love and winning the hand of your chosen one, it’s nice to see the bond between friends being treated as equal to a romantic pairing. Cyborg and Changeling’s unlikely pairing in Teen Titans is a lovely superhero example, and the sisterly bond between Gokai Yellow and Gokai Pink was not only powerful but adorable (especially when they would occasionally fall asleep leaning on one another.) My daughter, the Widget, casts her BEST Best Friends vote for the Bone cousins, Phoney, Smiley and Fone Bone, a strong choice which leads us to our query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) might be convinced to put his money on Captain Jonas Grumby and his ‘little buddy’, Gilligan, asking: Which pair of best friends are the very BEST best friends?

It’s either Jay & Silent Bob or Han & Chewie.
Blue and Gold. ie Blue Beetle and Booster Gold of JLI.
Calvin and Hobbes, fully aware of how sad and lonely Calvin’s existence actually is that he had to create his own best friend because nobody really gets him
Hap Collins & Leonard Pine from the eponymous show “Hap and Leonard” are two friends who go through & do so much for each other that it shows the deepest bonds of loving friendship.
