INSPIRATION: Archie : Veronica Lodge

Veronica Lake’s distinctive peek-a-boo hairstyle became an obvious visual shorthand in cartoons, particularly during her early-1940s fame.

The long blonde hair swept across one eye was instantly recognisable and translated easily into animated form. It was frequently exaggerated or parodied in animation where it could be wordlessly referenced and the audience would get it.

  A geographical gag of a lake titled: "Veronica Lake" is literally a lake, apparently shaped like her. Director Bob Clampett later specifically remembered making this joke.

• Daffy Duck – Muscle Tussle (1953)
  Daffy’s glamorous girlfriend Melissa has been described as bearing a strong resemblance to Veronica Lake.
  
  This one comes up in searches but I'm not convinced that the reference is just from modern reviewers pointing out Lake as a potential inspiration but it being the 50's and Lake's star had been on the decline since Slattery's Hurricane (1949).. where she did sport a similar hairstyle.
  
  The references are always unattributed and I was not able to find any solid background on Melissa's conception or inspirations for any kind.. let alone Lake related.

• Fresh Hare (1942) – Warner Bros
  Lake appears as a recognisable silhouette, apparently relying largely on her famous hairstyle for identification.
  
  As Porky and Bugs dash around they leave outlines in snow-banks until Bugs randomly leaves a shapely woman's outline instead of his own.
  
  This has been attributed to Lake but I don't see it as anything other than a generic stylised female outline. There's nothing uniquely Veronica Lake-like to say for certain.
