thanks for the chapter!
The dynamic these two have is amazing. This type of relationship/friendship probably has a proper name, but to me this is the FKMT version of Pinky & The Brain.

You're a winner, you have good taste to be reading this! 😊
Indeed, he's always so endearing, both here and in the Bog arc...
But I wonder what gifts could possibly have been worse!
It's so fun to see, and fairly uncommon, it's not the same as boke-tsukkomi, and I don't know if it has a name either!

I did a little bit of research. On TvTropes it's called "Smart Jerk and Nice Moron"
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SmartJerkAndNiceMoron
The examples are also very fitting:
- Timon and Pumba
- Abbott and Costello
- CatDog
- Ren & Stimpy
- South Park with Cartman and Butters, as well as those two handicapped kids that hate Jimmy
- Raistlin and his brother in the Dragonlance novels
And one example that I don't see mentioned but also fits is in the Discworld novel "The Truth" with Mr. Pin and Mr. Tulip
