Archie comics used to be one of my favorites growing up. The characters were a constant source of inspiration, especially Veronica Lodge, which led to me developing similar characters of my own(P.K.A. which I will re-vamp later this year and hopefully share on here). Veronica Lodge was the quintessential it-girl of Riverdale and long before the Lindsays and Paris Hiltons she was up to socialite mischief while jet-setting to exotic locations across the globe (, which is why I've had an affinity for ms. Lodge, daddy's poor little rich girl. I think everyone has a little Veronica in them, I love how she would always steal Archie away from Betty just for fun, when everybody knows she was most likely more compatible with Reggie, and let's not even get started on Jughead, who I've always suspected of playing on the other team. Recently the publication has been keeping up with the times, writing about our nation's first African-American President and including new gay character to the lineup, I'm not sure if it was a publicity stunt or if this new character will be a permanent fixture, but I'm happy to see a childhood favorite changing with the times.
