Ron Anderson is a survivor of the outbreak in Image Comics' The Walking Dead. He is a resident of the Alexandria Safe-Zone, alongside his parents Peter and Jessie Anderson.
Overview[]
On the surface, Ron appears to be just a regular kid. He is shown to get along well with the other children and generally seems to be friendly and well-behaved. However, unbeknownst to many, Ron is physically abused by his father Pete, a fact he seems to not want others to know, shown when he tells Rick that he got his black eye from getting hit by a ball. Despite this, after Rick kills Pete, Ron is shown to mourn the loss of his father. At one point he angrily confronts Carl about Rick killing his father and questions why Rick is seen as a good guy while Pete is not.
In contrast to Carl, who is much more hardened by the apocalypse, Ron is much weaker and afraid, due to living safely inside the walls of Alexandria for the entirety of the apocalypse. When walking through a herd of walkers, Ron is unable to handle the stress and panics, which leads to the deaths of himself and his mother.
Pre-Apocalypse[]
Location Unknown[]
Little is known about Ron's life prior to or as the outbreak began. He had a mother, Jessie Anderson, and a father, Pete Anderson. He may have lived in or near Alexandria with his parents before the outbreak occurred.
Post-Apocalypse[]
Life Among Them[]
When Rick goes to see the kids playing football, he notices Ron's black eye. When asked about it, Ron says he hit his eye and it looks stupid, to Rick saying that it makes him look cool. Ron is later seen at the house party with his family. When he asks his mother if he can find Mikey, she tells him to ask Pete. This begins to raise Rick's suspicion.
Too Far Gone[]
It was revealed by his mother that Pete had been abusive to them. Even after his father was killed, Ron still mourned. Jessie noted that even though his father was terrible to them, Ron still loved him. It's for this reason that Rick was able to talk Douglas Monroe into giving Pete a funeral.[1]
Ron later confronted Carl about Rick killing his father, to which Carl was unsympathetic, leaving Ron to wonder about the morality of the actions of both fathers.
No Way Out[]
Ron was seen hiding in Rick's house from Issue 81 to Issue 83 along with Rick, Jessie, Carl, Michonne, Morgan, Denise, Maggie Greene, and Sophia. Rick decided that they needed to cover themselves with zombie guts in order to disguise their scent from the zombie herd and they depart from the house into the middle of the herd's ranks undetected. Before moving however, Ron, who was scared wets himself. As the group moved through the herd, Ron began to panic and begged his mother to turn back. Jessie and Rick tried to calm him down as he was drawing the attention of the zombies to them.
