Do Lennie and George remind you of any other dual?

Dynamic dual. When hearing this catch phrase, one usually thinks of Batman and Robin. But did you ever consider that a dynamic dual could be compared to SpongeBob and Patrick? Well actually, you can compare George and Lennie to SpongeBob and Patrick. Even though Lennie and Patrick are goofy, SpongeBob and George are leaders and they take care of them both.

On the show SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob and Patrick live in different homes but they both live in the same neighborhood, which makes them very close. They hang with each other daily and whenever the two get into any trouble, SpongeBob is the one that usually gets them out of it.

Like SpongeBob and Patrick, George and Lennie are also close. Instead of living near each other, the two actually live with each other. Lennie and George’s closeness might be compared to father and son as opposed to SpongeBob and Patrick, whose closeness might be more like brothers. Lennie and Patrick both look up to their pals because they know that they won’t lead them down the wrong path.

Just like SpongeBob is Patrick’s companion, Lennie is George’s companion. If SpongeBob didn’t have Patrick as a friend, he would probably not be as happy and if George didn’t have Lennie as a partner, he’d be lonely because Lennie keeps him company, even though he doesn’t want to admit it.

George and Lennie are very close companions, as well as SpongeBob and Patrick. George and SpongeBob both have somebody that they hang around with and Lennie and SpongeBob both have somebody that they can look up to. If we think about it, without Lennie and George, there wouldn’t be SpongeBob and Patrick because Lennie and George were the first popular dynamic dual. So in actuality, it wouldn’t be Patrick needing SpongeBob, it would be SpongeBob and Patrick needing Lennie and George.
