Handy-The Mole Relationship

This article focuses on the relationship between Handy and The Mole.
==Overview==
Being two-thirds of "No Hands, No Eyes, No Brain," Handy and The Mole are often seen together and are usually shown to be close friends. They may have occasional quarrels, but these are more likely caused by mistakes due to The Mole's blindness.
==Handy's Side==
Despite his borderline sociopathic tendencies, The Mole seems to be one of only two characters about whom Handy genuinely cares, and Handy has even done things with him that he is famous for never doing for any other character: mourning his death in Don't Yank My Chain and even asking him for help in Wipe Out!. He also often trusts The Mole enough to work with him despite his incompetence, as is seen in Home Is Where the Hurt Is, Concrete Solution, and the online game Milk Pong. Additionally, in Don't Yank My Chain, he's presumably arranged a road trip with The Mole.
While The Mole is one of the few characters Handy regularly likes, the bond between them isn't perfect. He obviously reacts with pain when The Mole kills him in Wipe Out!. He also gets annoyed with having to drag The Mole's corpse in Don't Yank My Chain. 
==The Mole's Side==
Due to The Mole's character, it seems obvious through his actions that The Mole considers Handy a friend as well, even being his housemate for an unknown period of time in No Time Like the Present. In Wipe Out!, not only does he help Handy with the zipper of his wetsuit, but Handy became the only character whose pained screams The Mole acknowledges, prompting The Mole to attempt to fix his own mistakes. It should also be noted that, despite his blindness and not being close to any of the actors, The Mole goes to attend a school assembly with Handy in Something Fishy. He also seems to trust Handy, obeying his suggestions a little in Don't Yank My Chain and following him around.
The only marks against this friendship are when The Mole unintentionally injures Handy in Spare Me by hitting him in the back of the head with Sniffles' decapitated head, causing his eye to get stuck in a bottle, and when The Mole inadvertently kills him in A Sight for Sore Eyes by running him over with a lawn mower.
==Trivia==
