Kayla E.

The way that I discovered them was through the checkout line at my grocery store in Shitville, Texas in 1996.

If like little Kayla can find them, then anyone could find them.

Cartoonist Kayla E. I identify as a cartoonist also essentially as a fashion designer.

I think all cartoonists are.

There's so much that is involved in being a cartoonist.

We're essentially like one person filmmaking.

The cartoonist does everything.

Just nothing compares, at least in my mind, to the outfits in the world of Archie comics.

And I have like thousands of images on my computer, a ton of Archie content.

and have Veronica wearing this ridiculous cowgirl costume or something that Ginny from Michigan invented.

It's just a fabulous idea.

And I'm sure it was so exciting as a little girl to see your fashion idea come to life on the body of Veronica.

When I was a kid, I just desperately wanted to be Veronica,

more than anything.

I wanted her body.

I wanted her wardrobe.

I wanted her house.

I wanted her life.

And it's very fun.

It's very fun.
