Rick is one of the Y2K crop of Cthulhu Coffee team members, an honor he won by producing the Cthulhu Family Circus cartoon. Rick has known Melissa for several years through his mate, Sharon, and had a wild time at CONvergence 1999, 2000, and 2001 with the Cthulhu Coffee crew.

Here is an excerpt from the Miskatonic Anthropology Monthly about our Rick:

"The Rick is a curious beast: not entirely attractive, yet able to hold your attention with his stately bearing and imposing intellect. While his perception of reality seems tenuous at times, he does seem able to participate convincingly in dialogue with other bipeds and is possessed of remarkable personal hygiene for one of his caste. He appears particularly fond of his mate, Sharon, and his feline dependents, Gabriel and Lump.

"To a great extent, the Rick spends his time in his newly acquired, suburban dwelling performing arcane rituals on his electro-silicate worship-box. This activity is frequently punctuated by wild gestures towards the box; accompanied by profane exclamations. At times, he will venture out of his dwelling to an adjacent stony area where he again mutters curses while repeatedly injuring himself on his conveyance.

"The Rick's presence in the Metro-lands is a relatively new development. He was borne in the picturesque but rugged Iron Range and endured approx. 8 of the last 11 years living in the harsh hinterlands of Fargo, ND. Unbelievably, he survived this experience and seems to have flourished in the more advanced local areas. While there has been no timeline presented, there have been hints at plans to reproduce, now that he has a permanent habitat. Try not to dwell on that, as he is mostly harmless."
