The World According to Rick

Introduction

If you’ve looked at the cover, you’re already aware I’m Rick Sanchez. Specifically, Earth C-137 Rick Sanchez. If you know me, you also know I have a grandson named Morty, whom I bring on adventures and in assorted galaxies and dimensions and whatnot. I’m never without a sidekick when I have one of the infinite number of Mortys available to me in the multiverse. Unless, of course, I can get it done solo, in which case no sidekick is exactly what I’d prefer. Barring that, Morty it is.

Every Rick needs a Morty, myself included. There are many like him, but this one is mine. If he’s gonna be worth a damn in the field I have to keep him tuned up and in good working order. To take him on adventures, I have to train him to go on adventures, and to train him to go on adventures, I have to take him on adventures. It’s like a snake barfing its own tail.

He wastes most of his time at Harry Herpson High School, ostensibly to learn stuff, although it’s pointless to bother. School is a cruel trick Earth parents inflict on their young for no other reason than retribution for the deception once inflicted on themselves.

Then there’s Summer, the other grandkid. Typically, chicks and adventures have never been a match made in nonexistent heaven for me, but Summer has proven to be an exception.

As to be expected in the Sanchez gene, she’s a quick wit and tough cookie, despite her superficial attachments to social media and her phone.

The mother of these two idiots and my beautiful daughter is Beth. Despite her decision to marry Jerry, she is way smarter than she’s willing to admit. But if I’m perfectly frank with you, I’m shocked she never drove her car into the ocean with the kids in the trunk. The apple doesn’t fall far from the crazy tree.

And Jerry? Ugh, never mind.

But hey, they’re family, right? That’s gotta mean something, even to the smartest being that’s ever existed in the multiverse, aka me, Rick Sanchez. Plus, my lab is set up in their garage, rent-free.

While keeping these dum-dums safe can be a pretty dangerous business, it’s nothing compared to the I’ve seen. This is why I’ve decided to share my acquired wisdom with you plebs. As the most intelligent being in the multiverse, I’ve got a lot of knowledge to drop. Check out this collection of my words of wisdom. If you’re smart, you’ll pay attention.

Wubba lubba dub dub,

Rick
