I've never liked the Ollie Green Arrow so, love Clerks though I do, Quiver was always going to be a hard sell which he failed to make to me. And I might someday forgive Smith for what he did to "Stanley and his Monster" for the sake of that story, but it won't be anytime soon, and most probably not in this lifetime.
And his banter can be GREAT, cf Randall and Dante, who are plausible as friends in Clerks, but can also fall flat, cf Chasing Amy, where the two main characters there fail to come across even as people who can stand to be in the same room as each other, never mind friends and working partners.
I don't know, I like the interaction between Banky and Brodie (chasing amy). But then again, it could be just me and granted it's been a couple of years since I've seen it last. But the point is that they are friends who'd known each other so long. I don't think they COULD stand to be around each other -- which is why the eventually parted ways. (in addition to other things, of course.)

Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
