History Recap / PennyAndAggieCampaignTrail

* FoeYay: In-universe instance on Sara's part.

* ChewbaccaDefence: As the debate draws to a close, Stan says he'd like to move from discussing character to discussing the issues. "Are you in favor of them?", he asks his opponents. "I am. Are you?" Aggie and Duane both sputter objections to this nonsensical question before saying, as the bell rings, they're in favour of ''discussing'' them. "Good to see you on the bandwagon," says Stan, as an accompanying pie chart with poll results shows his strategy worked.

** During Penny's ImagineSpot in which she stands rooted in shock through time, some [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=263 Androgynians]], from Campbell's and Lagacé's other webcomic ''Cool Cat Studio'', have a cameo. ''Not'' an example of CanonWelding, as this is part of a fantasy sequence; also, the aliens behave out of character to the way they're portrayed in ''Cool Cat Studio'', where they visit Earth but not for the purpose of invasion.

--> Vote for a winner, and you'll feel like one!

* InsultBackfire: Penny's slamming Aggie, for talking to an interested Sara about endangered species, has an unexpected effect.

* AccidentalKiss

* {{Casanova}}: During the debate, Duane mentions, as evidence of Stan's untrustworthiness, his being seen "coming out of closed doors with ''six'' different ladies over the course of the semester." While Stan spins this as simply being a "people-pleaser" (with which [[FriendsWithBenefits Brandi]] audibly agrees), Jack nudges Bob and Elmer and holds up ''eight'' fingers.

* SoProudOfYou: When Nick tells Aggie that Principal Giuliani called him about her commandeering of the [=P.A.=] system for her campaign, Aggie asks if Nick's angry with her too. His affectionately ironic response: "Standing up to authority for principle, trying to reach the kids who think like you...Your [[PosthumousCharacter mother]] and I are furious."

* FoeYay: An in-comic instance on Sara's part.

* {{Slapstick}} - Penny jumping out the ground floor window to avoid Aggie.

* AttackOfThePoliticalAd - Stan's online video ad offers a downloadable ringtone of Aggie's "Worse than Hitler!" outburst.

* BlatantLies - Stan's purported reason for dropping out of the race: that his aunt's health will be endangered if she finds out he's gone into politics.
* {{Casanova}} - During the debate, Duane mentions, as evidence of Stan's untrustworthiness, his being seen "coming out of closed doors with ''six'' different ladies over the course of the semester."

* TheChessmaster - Stan.
* ChewbaccaDefence - As the debate draws to a close, Stan says he'd like to move from discussing character to discussing the issues. "Are you in favor of them?", he asks his opponents. "I am.

* ChurchOfHappyology - In [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=251 this strip]], the {{Cloudcuckoolander}} later named Xena parrots Tom Cruise's views on psychopharmacology. (Note the logo she wears on her blouse.)
* DorkHorseCandidate - Low-key, prim-and-proper nerd [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=258 Duane]], in contrast to the rebellious, attention-getting [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=256 Aggie]] and especially to the slick, people-pleasing [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=270 Stan]]. In the end, Duane wins only because Stan strategically drops out and endorses him.
* EveryoneCanSeeIt - Sara's opinion of the supposed attraction between Penny and Aggie.
* FoeYay - An in-comic instance on Sara's part.
* HippieParents / NewAgeRetroHippie - Aggie's late mother Melody, as seen in [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=250 flashback]].

Note that the comic, in contrast to [[TheThemeParkVersion many instances]] of this trope elsewhere, consistently portrays their neo-hippie aspects subtly and sympathetically.

* SoProudOfYou - When Nick tells Aggie that Principal Giuliani called him about her commandeering of the [=P.A.=] system for her campaign, Aggie asks if Nick's angry with her too. His affectionately ironic response: "Standing up to authority for principle, trying to reach the kids who think like you...Your [[PosthumousCharacter mother]] and I are furious."

* AllElectionsAreSeriousBusiness - Aggie runs on a campaign of "progress toward peace," apparently under the impression that a high school student council can end war.

* ShoutOut - During Penny's ImagineSpot in which she stands rooted in shock through time, some [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=263 Androgynians]], from Campbell's and Lagacé's other webcomic ''Cool Cat Studio'', have a cameo.

* LetsJustBeFriends - Penny considers telling Duane this.
--> "Duane, I'm here to offer you a shoulder...a just-friends kind of shoulder." Yeah, ''that'll'' go over [well]...

Nick, with his long ponytail and similarly pacifist and progressive values, also qualifies.

In the end, Duane wins only because Stan strategically drops out and endorses him.

** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig zagged]] with Stan. He seemingly treats the election as a joke, filling his campaign with silly slogans ("Vote Stan. He's against nuclear testing in our schools"), posters of him in a superhero costume, and transparently unachievable promises ("a parking space for every car...a passing grade for anyone who wants it badly enough"). He also stymies his opponents by saying he'd like to discuss "the issues. Are you in favor of them?" On the other hand, he and Jack seem to spend an inordinate amount of time and effort on all this. He then throws the election for a transparently spurious reason. Then he confides in Jack that this was [[BatmanGambit all part of his long-range plan]] to win easy election the following year, for the more serious motive of bolstering his university applications.
