Morty thinks he’s hit the jackpot when he stumbles upon a secret Morty haven, run by Crazy Cat Rick. All the food and cozy body pillows he could want! But he soon discovers that there’s a dastardly reason that the Mortys are so docile, and stumbles upon the grand secret of Morty battling.

This is a real fun issue, but like the entire series is fun so I guess that’s no surprise! This is our Neko Atsume (OR NEKO ATSMORTY MORE LIKE IT NO WHAT YOU’RE A TERRIBLE PUN) inspired issue, you can’t say we don’t know when to stop lifting direct influence from video games, even those which may have slipped from the public awareness. Anyway we have a Tubby Morty, get excited.
I can’t wait to show off some more art of this series, it all feels locked away at this point, but hopefully it’ll be worth the wait. I started work on it in September last year if you can believe that, it’s been a really long process and I’m not sure how I feel about keeping so much away from public view. But anyway #1 is out in about 6 weeks from @onipress, please pre-order this series. Do it for your old pal Ellerby.
