"The Ron and Nancy Coloring Book" is a surreal, darkly comic short story by Gahan Wilson, whose distinctive art and writing bring to life a bizarrely mundane nightmare: Nutzy and Oliver navigate a world where dinner grows on a frozen-food tree, only to be interrupted by their shockbox, which violently projects images of dead soldiers, accident victims, and starving children straight into their living room. The story’s unsettling humor and grotesque imagery are perfectly rendered in Wilson’s signature style, with the cover by Boris Vallejo adding a flamboyant, hyper-detailed contrast to the interior’s twisted whimsy.
