Cousins
Okay, you can see the resemblance though, yah?
B.B. was part of the original group of Squids. She lived across the alleyway behind Randie’s old house. When Randie got the job at the ArtBox, Grace was already working there. In fact, Grace gave her an application (in her sweet, demeaning sort of manner).
From a drawing point of view, as time went on, drawing Grace got to be more like drawing B.B… and vice versa… at some point, their visual similarity began to emerge, and I thought “what if…?” Then, oddly enough, a Squidling (or FSSR… or ‘frequent Squid Row reader’) (tanks Mark) asked if the two were related (?)… and there it went!
Brig had to use the term “frequent” when referring to me, because “obsessed” suggests that I had far more time on my hands than could possibly be legal 🙂 Still trying to figure out if I actually influenced story progression, though… *scratches head* 🙂
I need to move somewhere where I can stop driving a car again. Putting on weight. Biking, walking and bussing instead of driving does wonders for your waistline.
It makes sense that B.B. and Grace are related. Certainly a lot more sense than Grace and Enid being related. If THAT were the case, it would be clear cut proof of a transporter malfunction, ala Classic Star Trek Season One, Episode 5 The Enemy Within. And while I could easily believe Grace is from Alpha 177, Enid is far too sweet to be an alien.
Wow! Got the entire day’s recommended dosage of geekiness out in just one sentence!

Are you getting your five a day? 😉
hey, I totally remember when everyone had the conversation/question. nice to see it put in canon 😉
I love those backhanded compliments that could be taken as put downs.
I enjoy walking and biking… I prefer it to driving the 1.3 miles to my office. I feel energized when I get there. So Beebs isn’t all that “nutty.”
Astragali: It all congellified about the same time… now if you were to say “hey, Beebs and Leroy should tie the knot…” then I’d be freaked out. Ooo… did I say too much? It’s only been a thought.
I like that Beebs and Grace are related… seems like there warn’t enough “family” in the strip. Disfunctional family, Non?
Brig: I’m glad I didn’t have so much of an effect as I thought… the pin they use to burst my bubble is rather large… *shudder* 🙂
William & Brig: Walking, biking and bussing are all well and good (though as a Brit, I’ve not got up the courage to ride on the “wrong” side of the road yet!), but it’s the diet part of diet and exercise I can’t get to grips with, so I’m rapidly approaching 200 pounds! *cringe* 🙁
Kinda reminds me of the revelation in Dilbert that Phil, the Prince of Insufficient Light, was the Pointy-Haired Boss’s brother.
