     The best part of 206 was getting to design these mech suits Rick and Zeep built out of stuff they found in the jungle. Ricks suit is a variation on the dog mech and I wanted Zeeps to be inspired by a character in Dota called “Timbersaw” they went through a little bit of concept and a few gag ideas before we settled on exactly how it was going to play out. For this Episode I got to work with Director Dominic Polcino in order to figure out all the zany stuff that rick and Zeep would fight with. We finally settled on the Snake and Hawk. Maximus Julius Pauson http://maximusjpauson.tumblr.com did all the final drawings of Zeeps/Colberts Suit, and I did the ones of Rick.

Cool stuff as always. Typical, Typical. I knew Zepp's suit looked familiar. Was the snake a reference to Get Schwifty or was it a coincidence?

I like that Colbert's animal compartment released a hawk, which was the animal that provided the screech that opened The Colbert Report.

I dunno why, but I just like the detail that Zeep has to curl up his legs into a fetal position to properly sit in that wooden bucket/crow's nest of a cockpit.

Excelzior posted:is Zeep meant to be a dickhead I think so. not sure on this one but he does look like a giant walking green dick. I think he originally came from a concept for a floating head from the previous epsiode.  James Mcdermotts Designs for the heads

I kinda like the leafier mecha-suits. Was there debate about how obviously primitive and wooden to make them?

There's a whole thing in the bible where Abraham was like "don't burn down Sodom if there are at least 10 good people there" but there weren't, so it's a bad metaphor I guess.

Nothing revelatory, but it's a fun article to read: Dan Harmon on Rick And Morty: ‘It feels like I’m always referencing Hitchhiker’s Guide’ The show only recently arrived in the UK on Fox, and when I ask Harmon how he would pitch it to mostly oblivious Brits, he zeroes in on the influence of both Dahl and Douglas Adams. “In the writers’ room it feels like I’m always actively referencing some parallel from Hitchhiker’s Guide,” he says. “I think that’s where I learned everything about the concept of an infinite universe as entertainment, as it pertained emotionally to the common man. I don’t know if British people feel the same way about Adams as I found out they do about Ricky Gervais but I assume they still like Adams fine,” he says. “So I’d lead with that. And after that round of rear end-kissing, I would get really belligerent, then start throwing stuff around until I got bounced out of whatever pub we were in. Then I’d start crying and would confess I don’t really know what I’m talking about, I just try and sound smart when I drink.”

We are not a religious household at all, and I explained to him how, sometimes, when people are scared, they will turn to a religion for comfort.... and sometimes, the one in charge will decide that others are inconvenient and start killing people, aka tying them up to balloons to float away. I told him to always be wary if someone says they are receiving instructions from god. So you know, Father of the Year, here. Show me what you got.

Tying people to balloons is probably the most kid-friendly version of being killed for religious beliefs tho.
