Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson..
Xena, Warrior Princess and Gabrielle..
Batman and Robin..
Porky Pig and Daffy Duck..
Pinky and The Brain..
Hiro Nakamura and Ando Masahashi..
These are just a few examples of the quintessential sidekick whose role is often time the perfect counterfoil to the hero/protagonist's character, physical presence or even state of mind. For example; an openly flamboyant effeminate sidekick may make an unimposing hero look more masculine; a strong, silent and modest hero may have his fighting qualities revealed by a talkative sidekick. The sidekick is often the confidant who knows the protagonist better than anyone else and gives a convincing reason to like the protagonist.
In Bankerland, I am fortunate enough to have someone whom I can call as my sidekick. Knowingly or otherwise, she has been a great friend, confidant and supporter in both my personal and work realms. It has been a great 3 years Sidekick and while I know our time in Bankerland is coming to a close, I will always cherish the memories. My only hope is that, at some point in the past, in the midst of my personal trials and tribulations, I had been enough of a friend for you to have called me your sidekick.
Priceless gems heard from Sidekick over the years
"I give a damn good head kay"
You are truly a gem.
