Penny and Aggie is a webcomic written by T Campbell and drawn by Gisèle Lagacé, centered on the two eponymous high school girls, Penny Levac and Aggie d'Amour. Penny Levac is a blonde, over-confident and somewhat arrogant teen queen, who is on top of the social circles in school, and Aggie is an eccentric outcast who takes pride in her rebelliousness.

The comic focuses mainly around the relationships between the characters. In particular, the uneasy relationship between the two protagonists, whose differences in outlook often leads to clashes between them.

Penny and Aggie, who eternally fluctuate between being friends and bitter rivals, often draw the comparison to Veronica Lodge and Betty Cooper of Archie Comics fame. However, Penny and Aggie are distinguished from the classic Archie Comics love-interests by the fact that narrative events in the Penny and Aggie world have concrete effects on the characters (as opposed to the eternal stasis of the narrative world in Betty and Veronica Magazine), and the fact that there is no common love interest that Penny and Aggie share (thus preventing the Penny and Aggie narrative from succumbing to Betty and Veronica syndrome).
