Tick

"Daddy..."

The Tick is a comic book character created by Ben Edlund. A parody of superheroes in general, the Tick is a strange, justice-obsessed individual who usually causes more damage than he prevents and often gives nonsensical, long-winded soliloquies about the nature of justice in the style of those often given by Adam West on the 1960s Batman series. The Tick also appeared in two Fox television series -- an animated Saturday morning cartoon which aired from 1994 to 1996, a live-action series from 2001 to 2002, and a second live-action series from 2016 to 2019.

Muppet Mentions[]

  • In the Tick's first appearance, drawn in 1986 for the New England Comics Newsletter, the hero escapes from an insane asylum in Minnesota overseen by Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (whom The Tick calls "Honeydip") and Beaker. Bunsen describes the Tick's personality: "He is superhumanly strong and nigh invunerable, with the intelligence level of topsoil."
  • In the 2001 TV episode "The License," The Tick is watching Grover on TV, and wistfully says, "Daddy."
  • The first season finale of the revival series, "The End of the Beginning (Or the Start of the Dawn of the Age of Superhero)" (2018), has the Tick proclaim "This crater is brought to you by the letter T."

Notes[]

  • Edlund referenced the Muppets again as co-writer of the "Smile Time" episode of Angel.
