Penny and Aggie 12/20/06
When Shaenon Garrity introduced an adorable teenage character near the very end of her Narbonic's astonishing run, Penny and Aggie's course was clear. Cameo attack! Plus: DeCarlo's Betty, a Beatle and amorous 3D Venn diagrams!
And while we're praising Shaenon, her recent essay "Why I Hate Anthony" does what I've often merely attempted: it takes an utterly geeky obsession and makes it clear to everyone why said obsession is grounded in a worthy feeling, and why the norms should listen to the geeks on this.
Shaenon is a treasure. I hope the new outlets she finds in 2007 take a form that the rest of us can see.

Assuming that, by "near the end", you mean "2.5 years before the end": http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/narbonic/series.php?view=archive&chapter=10163

Tough call there. I had noticed her before but had no idea she was anyone but a throwaway-- and I also had no idea she was a teenager-- before this month.
