When I originally sketched the idea out on a Post-It note at work, it was meant to be a parody - the gromflomites were originally going to be Luke and Vader duking it out in the carbonite chamber, LOL (of which some theatric elements remain, such as the orange lighting)But as I was drawing Rick and Morty, something changed... Rick's expression became too deadly serious, his posture too tense, and Morty looked too genuinely startled. Too. I wondered what could possible be up there to garner such a reaction... and then the gromflomites came.
