In "I Didn't Want to Get My Hair Cut!", Kim Thompson dreams of Jim Woodring furious over a coloring mistake—only to wake up and wish every printing error could be so easily dismissed. Written by Kim Thompson and illustrated by Pat Moriarity, with inks by Jeremy Eaton, colors by Al Columbia, and letters by Moriarity, this surreal short story blends quiet anxiety with playful absurdity. The cover, also by Pat Moriarity, captures the dream’s odd, off-kilter mood.
