I’ve decided to write a bit about some lesser-known comic strips that I enjoy reading every day, in the hopes that some readers will discover them for the first time. These aren’t vying for the best strips on the comics page, but they offer enough humor to make them worth mentioning.

Agnes is a black and white strip included in the Houston Chronicle’s array of online comic strips. It’s primarily about a girl named Agnes and her best friend. Agnes is constantly coming up with crazy ideas that her friend reluctantly goes along with. Like most of my favorite comic strips, Agnes usually offers somewhat subtle humor - not resorting to stupid punchlines like many legacy strips.

Like many strips, this is one easier appreciated if you read it every day. Check out the Agnes comic archive to see strips from the past several years.

I’ll try to post about other good strips in the near future.
