Hey everybody,
Just a reminder, it’s tick season. I woke up this morning and found one clamped on my right inner thigh. The hospital said it was a large “dog tick”. It’s harmless so no problem. But beware.

Are you wearing a tick collar, now?
Yes but it’s so hard to get my foot up to scratch my neck.

Not always so harmless. Some carry Lyme disease and/or Rocky Mountain Tick Fever, depending on where you live. My wife can stand in the middle of a parking lot and get one. The little buggers suck…no pun intended.
SPPPOOOOOOOOOOON!!!

The Tick as a superhero had his battle cry power word…“spoon”. Hee would shout it as he would do battle with evil doers…

Ric, the Tick was originally a Graphic Novel by artist Bill Englund who was tired of the standard superhero comics and decided to have some fun with it. So he created the Tick, who like a tick is neigh invulnerable, incredibly strong and can take tremendous pressures before injury, and like a tick isn’t the smartest tool in the shed. He then placed his hero in Central City, a city with so many superheros (mostly ridiculously useless ones, just like the Marvel comics) they have to be assigned hourly shifts at street corners throughout the city. Its a very pun on the Marvel and DC universes, but with heroes the likes of American Maid (Wonder Woman but with some serious anger management issues) and Der Fleidermaus (Batman but seriously vain and self-absorbed), and some very funny puns of supercriminals like Chairface Chippendale (who has a chair as a head, dont ask it just works) El Seed and his Bee Girls, and the Breadmaster, whos breadsticks are bombs. It got turned into a TV cartoon series which was one of the best things on TV at the time, but only lasted 2 seasons, got them on DVD. Here is a sample, definetely work Netflixing if you like this sort of thing.

Thanks Vic, its hard to figure Bart out some times.
This type of stuff has never been my interest. But its whatever floats a person’s boat.

That sort of implies that Bart is sometimes easy to figure out? I suspect I have missed those times.
