my first time drawing Rick, and I thought it would be cool if he either fell victim to some sort of black market organ thief, or maybe just temporarily died, or potentially isn't really alive to begin with. something weird that would lead him on some sort of whacked out revenge episode. probably has to get back his three super mutant hearts or something. regardless, I think he wouldn't be too impressed with a giant sutured wound on his chest. he's probably woken up to worse.
ok right? it seriously would fit so well as an episode story. like Rick totally makes his own super organs and keeps them in his own body for safe keeping or something, and then a black market organ thief just comes and cuts them all out, so Rick spends the rest of the episode dragging Morty along on a revenge hunt. it's perfect!
