Description[]
"Rick Diggins is a Clicko Man. Wink! [winking around at every camera] Tell me where to wink. Wink! Just to cover all the bases. (It's a Lego.) But it's a Clicko Man, he's little and yellow, he's got a head..? You remember, from the Clicko Movie? [winks] (Travis: And Everything's Awesome?) And Everything's Very Great. He's a Clicko Man and he is, without getting too deep into it, he's had a rough couple years. And he's trying to rebuild his life, I guess you could say. He's a sort of master of disguise like all Clicko Men. He has different identities that he can adopt based on whatever ensemble he's wearing. And that's very much his sort of focus is blending in because Rick Diggins, the man, is a shell. And he's completely broken. But he is blending in perfectly right now. This is his character: Rick Diggins, Man About Town." ― Justin McElroy
History[]
Big Little Crimes[]
Rick is first introduced as a card game at Ruthie the Shell's private card house enters its tenth hour. Among the players are Aglet, Storm Drain Sonny, Rick, and Agnes. In an attempt to make conversation, Aglet compliments Agnes, but she brushes shoves him off. He moves to Rick instead, and when he asks what life as a toy without a child is like, Rick, as Man About Town, reveals his whole life story about how he's lived half-alive on the floor of the Littles' van for the past two years. This unsettling tale throws off the other players and he ends up winning the round, which includes the bag of fairy dust Aglet had put up to make the game more interesting.
After taking a quick sniff of his winnings, Rick sees Garbanzo Buglass and some of his gang enter the card house. Not knowing which four of his five bodies owes money to Garbanzo, Rick slides out the back door with Agnes, who asks him for help with something in exchange for aiding his escape. He agrees, and they head down to the drainage ditch together, where they find Car-Go Jones washed up on the shore and trapped under a twig.

Quotes[]
Big Little Crimes[]
- That is, uh, an extremely personal question for cards and gambling, but I'm Rick Diggins, Man About Town, and I don't mind disclosing to you everything that's happened to me. You see, Rick Diggins— that's me— I was lost in a car seat. For two years! [deep sigh] My last family sold their car to this new family and I was lost under the car seat. For two years. And for two years, I lived in a sort of twilight. The children didn't know I was there, so I couldn't fully come to life, but because of their presence, I was half alive. For two years. In the darkness? Yeah. But this happens, right? This is life. Anyway-- [deep sigh]-- Anyway, now I'm just a card-loving gentleman because of my torso. Let's play some cards!
