A group of PhD'ers from Ireland came up to me and asked if they could have their whole friend group turned into Rick and Morty characters, so they could gift their friend a final goodbye gift. Rick and Morty is an American adult animated science fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon. The series follows the misadventures of Rick Sanchez, a cynical mad scientist, and his good-hearted, but fretful grandson Morty Smith.
