Urban Outfitters is well known for its cartoon-inspired tees -- from The Simpsons to Bob's Burgers -- and the company has just released a Rick & Morty graphic shirt collection. A rumor has been circulating that season four episodes won't be airing until late 2019, hence the Urban Outfitters cartoon-inspired product line is here to help fans pass the time.
The style of the popular cult cartoon is well captured in the illustrations. For instance, a full-back Rick & Morty graphic shows the heroes coming out from an inter-dimensional portal, only to find two human-size phones, sitting on pizza chairs. Another tee in the collection is a simpler design. Inspired by the classic RIPNDIP cat, it illustrates Pickle RIck, popping out of a breast pocket.
