There are precious few new Schitt's Creek episodes left, as the powers that be—chiefly Dan Levy, creator and the actor who plays David—announced in March 2019 that the series would end with season 6. The Emmy-nominated show has brought us a treasure trove of quotes (Moira's "I'd KILL for a good coma right now!" is appropriate for any occasion), and "A Little Bit Alexis" deserves a spot on our workout playlist forever. Now, we've got something to hold in our hands: A Very Schitty Coloring Book, available from ShopHelloHarlot on Etsy.

What's inside? 10 pages of " coloring, puzzles and activities," including nearly as many Moira tributes as there are wigs on her motel room wall. Bust out your blackest colored pencil to work on Moira as Dr. Clara Beatrice Mandrake in The Crows Have Eyes III: The Crowening—FYI, you can also purchase a poster for the film on Etsy, and it's incredible.

A Very Schitty Coloring Book book also features Moira holding her glass of Herb Ertlinger's fruit wine, surrounded by lines from the script of the commercial she starred in (her colorful take on what the lines were supposed to be, that is).

Another page's glorious hodgepodge of references include the Rose Video logo, and another iconic Moira quote: "Gossip is the devil's telephone. Best to just hang up." Meanwhile, David and his fiancé Patrick get a "Simply the Best" moment against a gorgeous floral backdrop. If you want, you can even choose a bright purple or yellow for David's outfits instead of his signature black and white! It's called creativity.

Adult coloring book fans have long extolled the benefits of a good inside-the-lines session, in part because it requires you to stop, put your chaotic life on pause for awhile, and focus on one simple yet satisfying task. Something we'll miss about Schitt's Creek, in addition to the jokes that strike a rare balance between cutting and kind, is the idyllic fictional Canadian town itself, full of surprisingly accepting oddballs who are never truly mean to each other. What better way to channel the show's soothing vibe than coloring in the Rose family's faces while rewatching on Netflix?

And when you've filled up all the pages, you can get started on the Jason Momoa coloring book.
