Adult Swim was back again in their usual spot. Their theme this year is Pirate Purrty On The Green. Yaaargh Pirate Cats!!! They had a lot of scratching posts and balls of yarn. With their traditional late night screenings and panels they had a various activities to do once you got inside. Not to mention that the first 750 people who entered each day received a free vinyl figure. We managed so snag one on Sunday.
ADULT SWIM RETURNS TO SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON WITH
“PIRATE PURRRTY ON THE GREEN,” MUST-SEE PANEL EVENTS, AND EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOKS AND GIVEAWAYS
Adult Swim to Spotlight “Robot Chicken,” “Rick and Morty,”
“SMILING FRIENDS” and Upcoming Series “Haha, You Clowns”
Adult Swim readies a massive return to this year’s San Diego Comic-Con with a packed schedule of live events, can’t-miss panels, and exclusive giveaways celebrating its most beloved and buzzworthy series and anchored by an outdoor “Pirate Purrrty on the Green” fan activation.
“Continuing our long tradition of being on the green at SDCC, last year we introduced a pirate ship motif because we have always viewed ourselves as media pirates,” said Adult Swim President Michael Ouweleen. “We’ve also always used cats in Adult Swim iconography (because they are night creatures?), so this year, obviously, it’s cats and pirates. Expect owls next year, because that’s the other animal we associate ourselves with. Just roll with it. Don’t think too hard. It will be hilarious. Please come hang with us and the best show creators and animation staff in the business.”
