8* TheAggressiveDrugDealer: Subverted. Aggie, in her first encounter with Lisa, mistakes her for this and runs off. It turns out Lisa only wanted to share some tunes with her.
9* AllMenArePerverts: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in that Penny [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=100 enjoys]] their gawking at her.
10* DressCode: Penny's, Sara's and Michelle's miniskirts fall afoul of the one at school.
11* JadedWashout: Penny's father, Rob.
12--> '''Penny:''' Why do we have to go [out to dinner] anyway?\
13'''Rob:''' Because families do things together. I don't know why. We just do.
14* LovableAlphaBitch: Penny in several strips. Despite Aggie's and others' perceptions of her for much of the comic, this is the closest Penny ever gets to the straight-up AlphaBitch character trope, and that's still quite a way off.
15* MirrorMonologue: Penny psyches herself up for the day while putting on her makeup (see page quote).
16* NewYearsResolution: Aggie resolves to write a poem a day. However, she sets such ambitious goals for herself, in terms of form and rhyme scheme, that by the end of the week all she's written is: "A tree. / It be. / The End."
17* PlayingSick: Penny attempts this when she gets a pimple on a school morning. Her father embarasses her into going to school when he notes she'd stuck the [[{{Squick}} cat thermometer]] in her mouth.
