Recently, Harmon appeared at a live interview and was asked by hosts about Rick and Morty’s third season. It was there that the creator turned up some auto-tune and laid a sick track to rap over. You can check out some of Harmon’s fire bars below:
“They’re drawing it
They’re drawing it
They’re drawing it
Here’s how cartoons work
First, you write them
Then you draw them for a really long time
Everything needs to be on paper
So you can see it
So if all I do is write it and then put it on TV
It will look like a script”
The creator went on to wrap about fans criticizing him for his vocal political stances, and Harmon even poked fun at his own art skills.

“I understand and we are flattered that in an information vacuum, with the show so late, any morsel of info is going to have huge weight. But the truth is not dramatic. It’s quite boring. We love our show. It’s a weird show that we struggle to not overthink OR underthink. As for now, they’re drawing it,” he said.
“So, I’m sorry I can’t say “we fractured a creative valve in sector 3' or “it’s Paul’s fault. GET HIM!” No hidden truth. We slow. Sorry. Part of what I was trying to express is that WE would sit and ponder, what’s the problem here, how can we write faster, why we so slow? And then we’d go “what made us faster in season 1' and then we’d go “we didn’t sit here talking about this, let’s just do this,” etc.”
