"Hi! I'm Grace. We're friends now!"
"We are!"
"Yep!"
"Huh. Feels right."
Commentary
- Grace asking if Sarah was a hound
An anime based on Anne of Green Gables—title Anne Shirley—came out this year, and you can thank THAT for the buddies nonsense in panel two.
This is a bit tangential, but I'm fairly certain I hadn't read that book, yet there were bits of the anime that gave me déjà vu. In particular, an incident involving hair dye. It's not like the books haven't been adapted several times before. Maybe I knew something of it and forgot.
Or maybe I had a past life in which I, too, made a poor decision about buying things from a door-to-door salesmen. I can't prove that's not the case, so I can say with complete logic that such a possibility is on the table.

Being the bait also suggests that the intent is for her to lure in the "catch" for someone else to do the "catching".

I saw the 1985 TV movie of AoGG. The story wasn't bad, but I hated Anne. I wonder if I'd feel differently about the anime.

I first thought that that "Bosom Buddies" line was going to be the one thing I'd remember about this strip to chuckle about occasionaly, and then Grace dropped that "you're the bait" and now I'm confused 'cause I have TWO lines to remember and cherish forever.
