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"

BURBANK (July 11, 2025) - 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."

PIRATE PURRRTY ON THE GREEN

Adult Swim will bring its famed pirate ship outside the San Diego Convention Center (5th Avenue Landing and Convention Way), this time with a feline twist! The "Pirate Purrrty on the Green" will be the setting for the following special events:

Saturday (7/26) at 7:15pm
