What Riverdale's Cast Look Like In The Comics

In The Comics

Penelope Blossom is the mother of the Blossom twins, Jason and Cheryl. She closely resembles her daughter, due in part to her having the family's trademark red hair, and is often tasked with keeping her daughter's schemes in check.

In The Show

Penelope is portrayed as much more ruthless and cold-hearted on TV than she was in the comics. She is complicit in her husband's illegal dealings and emotionally abusive towards Cheryl (though has recently taken steps towards making amends.) As far as appearance goes, what was established in the comics remains intact and she still looks an awful lot like her on-screen daughter.
