The Tick: The Animated Series is an American animated television series adaptation of the New England Comics satirical superhero, The Tick. The series aired for three seasons from 1994 to 1996 on the Fox network's Fox Kids block, which introduced the character to a mainstream audience. The Tick has been syndicated by various networks, further increasing the show's cult following, and has been released on both VHS and DVD. A live-action series aired in 2001.
While still in college, Tick creator Ben Edlund was producing his independent comic book series based on the character. He was eventually approached by Kiscom, a small, New Jersey-based toy licensing and design company. Kiscom wanted to merchandise The Tick, much in the way that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a rival independent comic series, had been merchandised the previous year. Major TV networks and studios were reluctant to take on an animated series based on the absurd character. Kiscom stayed in touch with Edlund and finally Sunbow Entertainment, the small, New York-based animation company that created The Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Mask, paired him up with writer Richard Liebmann-Smith. Neither had any experience in animation or television, but for two months they worked vigorously on the first episode of The Tick. Neither man held high esteem for their final script, and their feelings were validated when FOX turned down the first pitch. They were given one more chance to refine it in five days. Over one weekend, they worked "instinctively" with little sleep and ended up satisfying FOX. Edlund later reflected, "We kind of defined in one weekend exactly where the show went for that first season, which was cool."

As he struggles to uncover this conspiracy, he falls in league with a strange blue superhero. The story of superhero The Tick, based on the popular comic book.

Here is a montage of some of my favourite Tick quotes. I wanted to focus on scenes where he is alone rather than with Arthur. I will soon create another one that involves conversations with Arthur such as the infamous "SPOOOON!!!!" Sorry about the red lettering part way through, I couldn't get rid of it.
A rather poignant moment from the live action series The Tick

All day I am lonely
Pretty about my .. cloud

Down by the .. tell me know
Come on hanging on this waterfall
What is how I just don't know baby come home

Baby come home baby come home
Baby come home
Come home come home Baby come home
