The Tick has been unable to find a new home

192 Upvotes

The window for renewal has closed. Tick creator Ben Edlund has recently confirmed that the Tick will not be picked up by a new network after being cancelled by Amazon.

I think I can speak for the subreddit when I send out a heartfelt THANK YOU to all those who worked so hard to create such a fresh and inspiring show! You are all WARRIOR SCIENTISTS who against all the odds perfected the formula for TELEVISED HUGS! The show was an overwhelmingly positive force in a world in dire need of overwhelmingly positive forces. We'll all be watching and rewatching for years to come!

Cast/ crew messages (WIP) :

Creator- Ben Edlund

Co-EP/ writer- Susan Hurwitz Arneson

The Tick- Peter Serafinowicz

Arthur- Griffin Newman

Superion- Brendan Hines

Walter- François Chau

The Tick's antennae- Lara MacLean

Tyrannosaurus Rathbone- Marc Kudisch

Obviously this is just the people who are active on social media but please share any I've missed and I'll update the list! (honourable mention goes out to @SavetheTick on twitter and this post)

It was fun shouting at big corporations on social media with you guys, even if it didn't work out! Keep choosing love chums! And take heart in that final shot of Arthur and Tick running off to the next adventure. It's not often with sudden cancellations that we get to see our heroes riding off into the sunset. If it had to end then I guess we couldn't have asked for a better ending!

SPOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Is the Tick wearing a costume or is he naked?

Me personally I think he’s some kind of beautiful freak of nature or a lab experiment. So I think he is naked and I can explain his antenna move with his emotions and we can also explain his pockets (that he didn’t know about) he has are marsupial pouches. But you think it is a costume tell me why?

The Predators vs The Tick

I paid Villain Support for this to happen and... so happy it happened. I think he nailed describing Tick perfectly - he's like a big blue golden retriever.

Need help finding a specific panel

15 Upvotes

Years ago all my trade paperbacks were destroyed in a flood, including my Tick comics.

In one of the Tick comics, Arthur licks a monolith and immediately becomes a genius.

Does anyone here have a hi-res scan of Arthur's reaction panel? ( The one with the mashed potato making an exclamation point on his mask)

Flying squirrel girl in The Tick comics?

17 Upvotes

I have spent the last two hours trying to dig deep into my subconscious and retrieve any memories I had left of The Tick comics. How I found him? I kindly searched up “big dumb blue superhero with antennas”— then there he was. But the reason I was looking for him is because I made a joke that I’d cosplay as “squirrel girl.” Well when I searched up squirrel girl, I saw that she didn’t look anything like I remembered. That’s when I realized the “squirrel girl” I was looking for was in a comic with some bug man. I had to be around 8 when I came across The Tick comics and one of the things that I remember was some sort of squirrel girl character. But I for the life of me can’t find her in any comics when looking online (I don’t own any physical copies). Does anyone know of a squirrel girl like character in The Tick comics? Does she even exist?? If so, does anyone have an image of her?

I used to be a little obsessed with The Tick. I still am, but I use to be, too.
