Ronnie Returns: An Evening with Matt Likes Comics

PRESS & APPEARANCES · OCTOBER 4, 2026

A return engagement, a little Pink Room glamour, and gifts for the comic community.

Veronica “Ronnie” Totten, the collector and host behind VeronicaTot Comics, will return to Matt Likes Comics on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 6 p.m. Central for a live appearance on his YouTube channel.

The occasion brings Ronnie back to a familiar seat for another evening with Matt and the comic community. And this time, she is arriving with more than Pink Room personality: she is bringing giveaways, including slabbed comics and photographic prints of Ronnie herself.

A Return Worth Dressing Up For

Some return visits deserve a proper entrance. Ronnie’s upcoming appearance brings her back to Matt Likes Comics with the same love of collecting that shaped their first conversation, and a Pink Room world that now reaches across comics, classic film, gaming, and gothic glamour.

At its center is a collector with more than forty years of affection for the medium. The appeal is personal: a cover that stops the search through a box, a familiar character encountered in an unfamiliar issue, or a book that becomes part of a much longer collecting story. That sense of discovery is at home in the Pink Room.

Readers can revisit Ronnie’s first visit with Matt Likes Comics before the new broadcast. The original appearance introduced viewers to her collection and the story of how she became a comic collector. This October, the invitation is to return, settle in, and spend another evening together.

An Archie Girl at Heart

Any introduction to Ronnie should make room for her love of Archie books. Riverdale holds a special place in her collecting life, with Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead among the familiar faces that keep drawing her back. Her “Archie Queen” affection reaches across eras, from vintage issues to later interpretations of the characters.

The attraction includes the artwork, the fashion, the personalities, and the pleasure of seeing those characters through different creative hands. For a collector whose own world mixes glamour with comic-book devotion, Veronica Lodge is a particularly fitting presence: style and a strong personality have always belonged on the page.

That enthusiasm also has a home in the Pink Room Journal. Readers can explore Veronica Lodge: The Original Comic Book It Girl and From MLJ to Riverdale for more of the Archie side of VeronicaTot Comics. It is an enduring part of Ronnie’s identity as a collector and a reason Riverdale keeps finding its way into the Pink Room.

Gothic Glamour, the Pink Room Way

Ronnie’s gothic aesthetic is part of the atmosphere from the moment she makes an entrance. Black lace, candlelight, rich pink, gold ornament, and red lips bring an old-Hollywood sensibility to a world with a fondness for the macabre. The mood is theatrical, romantic, and unmistakably hers.

That visual language sits naturally beside her love of horror comics and classic monster movies. The Pink Room can accommodate both Riverdale charm and a haunted-house mood, with comic art, cinematic imagery, and fashion sharing the same space. The result is a collector’s world with its own visual identity.

It is the spirit behind Because Comics Deserve Couture Too. Knowledge, enthusiasm, and dressing for the occasion can all belong to the same evening.

From Comic Panels to the Arcade

Gaming belongs in Ronnie’s world, too. Her interests extend from the familiar pleasures of retro arcade games, with Ms. Pac-Man a particular favorite, to the superhero action of Marvel Rivals. Characters, atmosphere, and a little friendly competition give her another way to enjoy the pop culture she loves.

That playful side fits the personality viewers encounter in the Pink Room: someone who can appreciate a beautiful vintage cover, enjoy a spooky movie, and happily pick up a controller. Comics, horror, fashion, and games each have their place in the broader VeronicaTot Comics story.

Together, those interests offer newcomers a fuller introduction to the woman joining Matt on Tuesday. The evening itself leaves room for their conversation to unfold and for viewers to join them in the live chat.

Gifts from the Pink Room

The evening’s giveaways will include slabbed comics and selected portrait prints of Ronnie, bringing a little of the Pink Room to Matt’s live audience. Join the broadcast for the giveaway details and a chance to take home something special.

Comic Talk Tuesday: My First Visit with Matt Likes Comics

Before the movies, the portals, and all the strange transmissions from the Pink Universe, there was a conversation in the Pink Room.

Matt Likes Comics invited me onto Comic Talk Tuesday to share part of my collection and talk about how I became a comic collector. It sounds like a simple subject, but anyone who truly loves comics knows that our collections are never just stacks of books. Every issue carries a memory, a discovery, a person, or a moment that helped shape us.

More Than a Collection Tour

Matt gave me room to talk about the part of collecting that matters most to me: the story behind it. The books may be the beautiful objects we hold in our hands, but the people, passions, and histories surrounding them are what make a collection personal.

That is what made this interview feel different. It was not a sales pitch or a parade of expensive keys. It was an honest conversation between two people who genuinely love comics—and an opportunity for viewers to meet the woman behind VeronicaTot Comics.

The Pink Room Was Already Telling a Story

The interview also gave viewers a chance to step inside the Pink Room. Long before it became the home of the Pink Room Picture Show, cinematic portals, classic horror, science fiction, and comic documentaries, the room already represented the same idea: comics could be knowledgeable, personal, glamorous, and completely unapologetic.

The response afterward meant a great deal to me. People loved the Pink Room, and Matt told me I had been one of the most interesting guests he had welcomed onto the show. That stayed with me—not simply because it was flattering, but because it confirmed that there was an audience for comic conversations with personality, atmosphere, and a point of view.

In this episode of Comic Talk Tuesday, Matt and I look through part of my collection and discuss how my life as a comic collector began.

Looking Back—and Ahead

Watching the interview now, I can see the foundation of so much that came afterward: the Pink Room as a place, the desire to tell deeper comic stories, and the belief that a collector should never have to hide her personality to be taken seriously.

My work has grown since that first conversation. VeronicaTot Comics has expanded, the Pink Room has become its own universe, and my videos now move through comics, horror, science fiction, history, fashion, and storytelling. But the heart of it remains exactly the same—the books, the stories, and the people who love them.

And yes, I will be returning to talk with Matt again. Before that next conversation begins, come back with me to the original interview and see where this chapter of the Pink Room story started.

With Love from the Pink Room XOXO,
Ronnie💋
