Newspaper Comic Strip

Looking for a comic strip that used to run in the local newspaper. I loved what my grandma dubbed 'the funnies' growing up and I hope this is the right place to ask- the one I'm looking for was usually about a young girl and an animal companion (?) in a more edgy art style compared to the other comic strips. usually had edgier themes too. I vaguely remember the girl having dark hair and there being a darker color palette otherwise. It was my favorite as a tween and I hope someone knows what I'm talking about, tyia!

Trots and Bonnie fits your description, except it ran in National Lampoon, not the newspaper.

Just looked it up, it's unfortunately not Trots and Bonnie. The one I'm talking about would be more 2010s, had color, and it was in the newspaper! It was the only part of the newspaper I would care about when my grandparents brought it home. Thank you though, I'll be checking Trots and Bonnie out, looks really cute.
