Added DiffLines:

''Agnes'' is a comic strip by Tony Cochran about the titular girl who lives with her grandmother in an Ohio trailer park, "The People's Court". Agnes is poor and isn't probably what you would call "pretty" , however, she is a dreamer and schemer, whose imagination and ambitions are constantly brought down a few pegs by her small resources and position in society, not that she lets this stop her.

Most of the comics in general are about her finding money or trying to be a celebrity or coming up with new things to deal with reality and day to day frustrations or terrors

!Tropes for ''Agnes'':
*BlankWhiteEyes: Agnes and Granma, however, we don't really know if the latter is the case mostly because she we wears glasses
*BookDumb: Agnes is intelligent in most senses of the word, however, she doesn't do very well in school and tends to get in trouble with teachers and the principal.
*CharacterTitle: The main character's name is Agnes and it is centered around her.
*CheerfulChild: While not cheerful per say, Agnes most certainly is optimistic
*GetRichQuickScheme: What Agnes more often than not pursues
**ZanyScheme: If it isn't the above, other times it's these or a combination of the above and these.
*MouthyKid: Agnes, with snarkiness to match
*NeatFreak: Granma, who is described as "poor but proud" is a downplayed example.
*OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Trout, apparently, as it's unlikely that what she is called is her real name.
*ParentalAbandonment: Agnes parents are not mentioned and it isn't known as to how she came to live with her grandmother, however, WordOfGod implied that, apparently, her parents abandoned her, considering that he says, "Granma had unselfishly stepped up to the plate".
*RaisedByGrandparents: Agnes, if the entry above didn't clue you, as she is implied to be abandoned.
*SliceOfLife: For the most part, it's this as it involves Agnes and her daily activities.
*{{Tomboy}}: Trout
*WiseBeyondTheirYears: Agnes and, apparently, she seems to be philosophical.
