ricksay

Ricksay is a command‑line utility that reads text from standard input and displays it alongside an ASCII‑art image of a Pocket Morty character, accompanied by a quote from the TV series *Rick & Morty*. The program is built on the same rendering approach used by the ponysay project, converting sprite images into a text‑based format that can be shown directly in a terminal.

The tool is intended for developers or hobbyists who want to add a humorous, themed visual to console output, such as during demos, scripts, or personal projects. It works on macOS and Linux environments, and may also function under Windows Subsystem for Linux. Installation is performed via pip, and usage consists of piping any string into the `ricksay` command.

Quotes are sourced from the IMDb page for the series, while the visual assets come from the Sprites Resource collection of Pocket Morty sprites, which are transformed into ASCII art by the util‑say utility. The package is marked as stable and includes a CLI entry point.
