History Recap / PennyAndAggieTheBestOfEnemies

* AlphaBitch vs. CoolLoser: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. In this arc, and in nearly all cases when the lead characters fight [[spoiler:while still enemies]], it's outsider Aggie who's the instigator, and queen bee Penny the generally [[LovableAlphaBitch undeserving]] target.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The [=iTunes=] version of the [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=1 first strip]] substitutes the fictional "Jeffy Blossoms" for JustinTimberlake, and "his fiancée" for Cameron Diaz. Elsewhere, writer T Campbell [[WordOfGod commented]] that he was concerned about dating the comic with too many RealLife pop culture references.

* LovableAlphaBitch / SpoiledSweet: Penny is much more ethical and compassionate than she lets on.
