When Lincoln tries to enter a comic book contest, he and his family quickly find themselves LIVING a comic book...
Rick & Morty episode: N/A
Loud House episode: Pulp Friction
- Adaptation Deviation: Because of Rick's involvement, instead of a Detention Episode where the Loud siblings free Lincoln and Clyde from detention so they can stop Principal Huggins, the characters all get sucked in the comic book world courtesy of the portal gun, and sees Rick and the super-powered siblings fighting the supervillain Huggins.
- Adaptational Karma: Rather than being forgiven and given a spot in Lincoln's comic, Huggins is sent into another dimension by Rick for messing with his portal gun and attacking his grandkids.
- Adaptational Villainy: When Principal Huggins finds himself as the villain of Lincoln's comic, he eagerly embraces his new role and even tries to get rid of Lincoln and his family to keep it.
- Alliance of Alternates: Huggins summons an entire army of Wild Card Willies from other dimensions to combat the Loud Kids.
- Call-Back: When confronting Huggins to get Lincoln's comic book, Rick mentions that they've met before during the events of "Frog Wild Run".
- Foreshadowing: When Lynn remarks that it's "bad luck" to go to the bathroom before a game, Lincoln gets a chill down his spine, hinting at the events of "No Such Luck".
- Put on a Bus: Rick sends Principal Huggins to another dimension after the fight and he has never made another appearance in the story since then.
- Shame If Something Happened: Rick threatens to tell the school board about Huggins potentially forcing children to vivisect live frogs in previous chapters if he doesn't return Lincoln's comic. It almost works, until he notices Rick has what appears to be a gun in his pocket.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: In Lincoln's revised comic, Wild Card Willy (portrayed by Huggins) doesn't join Ace Savvy's team, but rather is sent to jail for the crimes he committed, reflecting how Huggins himself wasn't let off the hook for stealing his comic and messing with Rick. Savvy even spells it out in-story:Ace Savvy: Sorry, Willy. You may have been dealt a bad hand, but that doesn't give you an excuse to play dirty.
- True Art Is Angsty: Bill Buck likes the revised ending of Lincoln's comic for being more "realistic" as he notes that too many stories try to redeem their villains.
