*** It was not a "minor incident", it was probably the first or maybe even the only time Aggie saw Melody so freaked out. She would've forgot the tiger episode if anyone else resqued her calmly, but it happened to be her mom who as a result got really emotional when little Aggie didn't expect it. Moments like this actually tend to stick in one's memory. Children usually are not very insightfull, so the "never leave me" part is not about Melody being flawed, but about little child misinterpreting her mom's words. While Melody was understandably scared for her child, little Aggie didn't get it then and assumed that was an actuall demand to always stay with mom. In her dream she finally sorted this out and got over it.\\

* FBI Agent Pat McBell, the man who investigates Cyndi's disappearance, is presented as a middle-aged HardboiledDetective. Why then does he use the phrase "hella motive" [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/penny-and-aggie/2010-09-27]]? And why does he take into account that Aggie [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/penny-and-aggie/2010-09-01]] says she's been "an avowed pacifist since the age of seven," instead of dismissing it as teenaged girl blather?

Homoerotic Dream has been renamed to Awkwardly Gay Dream and requires explicit statement of sexuality as per TRS.


* Why are people so much quicker to point to Aggie's ComingOutStory than Penny's? Penny has the HomoeroticDream from her time with Duane, the fantasy from "2020 Pennies," the whole "rape" fiasco, the hanging-by-a-thread denial from the Darren Danforth storyline, and Aggie has ''briefly'' touching on the idea early on, getting a little flustered when she ran into Karen, Karen's assumptions, that blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment in the tiger dream, the single HomoeroticDream about a ''mannequin'', and another brief flirtation with the idea (and Xena). Still, on the forum and on this wiki, people are routinely putting her next to Sara and ignoring Penny completely. In short, Penny's thoughts have unconsciously run back to Aggie every time her thoughts have turned to romance at all, and Aggie's twice considered the idea, and those times more or less deliberately, had two dreams that rather obliquely hint she might be attracted to girls/Penny, and had one StupidSexyFlanders moment. I'm sorry, but all I can think of is that you're jumping headlong into stereotypes.

*** Katy-Ann's hair appears pink elsewhere than on the cast page, in for example [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=252 this strip]], coloured by a different person (Miguel Marques) than the cast page colourist (Olivera T.). Also, in a later (grayscale) strip, Katy-Ann says "When I'm old, and dying my hair [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue]] instead of pink [...]".

**** The things that happen to us when we're so young are the things that shape us far more than we realize. I [[SorataYuy myself]], when about 6, was highly energetic but kept getting into trouble because I didn't think about things (what 6 year old does, I ask you.) People kept saying how "bad" I was, and for the next 11 years, without even knowing it, I held a quiet but determined thought inside that drove me to behaviors I normally wouldn't have done otherwise: "Fine. I'm so bad? You'll see bad..." Aggie probably didn't even consciously remember this promise, just stuck to what it meant to her emotionally.
