The central figure was a blonde named Aggie (a nickname based on her first name Agnes). Aggie was raised by her father's second wife, who favored her own daughter, Mona, a few years older than Aggie. Comics historian Don Markstein commented: After Rasmusson died in 1962, the series was taken over by Roy L. Fox. In 1966, the title was shortened to Aggie. Final episodes of the strip were published in 1972.
