"Hey, is that the famous “Nannerpus” from the Denny’s Super Bowl commercial on Tick’s meal?"

no idea what a Nannerpus is, but that's a hot dog cut like an octopus. They're fun!

I never knew that both The Tick and I drink Moxie. This pleases me. And probably explains a lot about both of us...

"An oversized hardcover Tick omnibus is long overdue" New England Comics never seems to do hardcovers, but there is finally a "Tick: Complete Ben Edlund" trade out, to replace the various 3- or 4- volume sets that have come in and out of print over the years. Probably the best they're gonna do.

Arthur seems much less nebbishy than he did in the cartoon & live action. Just judging by the drawing, not the scripting. He seems... beefy.

"I've got a straw right here, pal!" Ben Edlund was a genius comics creator. Please don't read any Tick comics that weren't created by Ben Edlund. You will regret it.

A wonderfully absurd comic, a hilarious cartoon, and a poorly done live action show.

But still--gotta love the Tick and his battle cry!

Not sure if it was in the comic, but Arthur's battle cry in the cartoon was just as good, maybe better.

Patrick Warburton rocks!! I'm taking my son to Pebble Beach this weekend for the National Pro-Am, and he wants "Brock Samsom's" autograph.

An oversized hardcover Tick omnibus is long overdue (or if it came out and I missed it I am overdue in picking it up).

I didn't read much of the tick but I loved the cartoon yes I said it (or typed it) CARTOON! Boo! I caught some of the live action episodes and that Patrick guy was so perfect and funny, even my wife (a.k.a. another comic widow) liked them, I have a couple of complete Tick books on order I can't wait to know everything. later!

No one in comics history has a better rogues' gallery than the Tick. Take just one: the Deadly Bulb. Dressed like a light bulb, commits crimes in a giant lightbulb-shaped hot air ballon. Wears a cape to hide his secret shame: he has a pig for a leg. Y'see, he'd rather go by the dumb branding of his own volition, than what the Tick (once he find out) and everyone else starts calling him: Pigleg. Unbeatable Tick quote; "What happened to you? Step in a pig?"

What an awesome moment! Spoon! was something of a shibboleth for my nerd posse while growing up. I never knew it had an origin.

I just recently watched the 2001 live action series online through Netflix. Every character was well cast, but I don't think the writing got good until the 3rd or 4th episode.

I think layne might have been joking, guys.

You know, comedy? Like The Tick?

i never saw the live action Tick show, but it stars Patrick Warburton as the Tick, and i can't think of better casting for any piece of entertainment in the history of the world.
Spoooooon, indeeed!
