Still working on my Tick motorcycle...not giving up...yet.

Summary: set the day after the events of the pilot, with that drama somehow resolved Chapter 1 Chapter Text Cold morning. Arthur woke slowly to the sounds of The City, light creaking from the window and leaking from a lamp he fell asleep before turning off. He was still. His thoughts were messy. It was an odd feeling, not knowing if things were... well they were real to him but he had no way of knowing if... It was an odd feeling, not being able to trust his own perception. It was a feeling he hadn't gotten used to in the years since his diagnosis. It was one thing to be how he was, and it was another to be all-too aware of it. Obsessed with it. Maybe the events he remembered were real, the suit, the guns, the... man? The Tick. It seemed so... and even the most active of schizophrenic thoughts, do they create scenarios from scratch or do they take what's real and manipulate it to something... different. "I'm okay." he mumbled to himself. He shivered, considering his memories from the day previous. "Sure you are!" said the Tick, who was again waiting for him to wake up. "Tick, we need to establish boundaries." "Ooh! Boundaries! Sounds fun, is it like dungarees?" "No. It's like when you know to leave me alone." "Ohh... I don't like it anymore." "I figured you wouldn't." Chapter 2 Chapter Text The Tick watched Arthur brush his teeth, eat breakfast, get ready for work. "Could you go up on the rooftops or whatever while I'm getting ready in the morning?" "I like watching you. You're so good at everything." "Good at eating cereal?" "Yeah!! Masterful, really! You eat cereal with such grace and charm... I like that in a sidekick. My last--" "Sidekick? Still you think I'm going to... Go out there and fight crime, fight the Terror, myself?" "Not yourself! Me and you! A duo!" "I don't want to be a part of any duo. I'm not a superhero! I'm just Arthur." "Of course you are, Arthur! That's what I love most about ya!" "That I'm a superhero? I'm still not." "No, that you're Arthur! Remember yesterday? You were amazing!" "I screamed a lot, and threw up. Twice." "I didn't even know you had that power!" "It's not a power." "It is when you hit the bad guys!" "I have to go to work." "You're not even wearing the suit!" "I don't wear the suit to work." "Of course you do!" "Where do you think I work?" "You work with me!" "No." "Yes!" "I have to go to work at my job." "Right. Work: fighting evil. It's a full time job"

Looks like a great idea! I'm in favor of anything that will help simplify my digital life and waiting for vids to upload can be a drag. LET'S DO THIS! You got my vote, YES!

This is a print on Epson photo paper 16" x 18", autographed by Xavier Sade and numbered as Number 19 of 25 copies. I bought it, I thought it was cool. I didn't really do a lot of research on this one, it just spoke to me and it said...."SPOON!!!" Hero Complex Series 2015 Studio De Sade. www.studiodesade.com. Came from Arizona. What do you guys think? Thumbs up, thumbs down? I'm trying out new image formats...one is to my flickr page and one is using tinypic...which one is better? SPOON!!!

Sorry guys, but I am so enthralled by this new Custom Action Figure that I had to put up this one last photo! Okay...now I'm done!

Barry Hubris aka The Tick...the other one.

So, it was more like this!

Went up to Vasquez Rocks, where Captain Kirk fought The Zorn, but it was way too windy...

Well said! I feel there is a certain elegance that sometimes gets lost in translation when it comes to color.

The Tick Valentine Days Card 2016 From my wife Rhonda by vsndesigns, on Flickr

Got my Custom Action Figure of Barry Hubris (From my favorite episode The Tick Vs. The Tick) today, and I couldn't be happier! My sincere thanks goes out to FunStuffCustoms on Facebook aka Randy Patty for an amazing job!

Testing 123, Testing 123...hehehe...Hey Look, I'm a newbie again! ...and it feels like it, still trying to navigate through the new CGC. Nobody likes change but like I told my wife, ask yourself, what do I LIKE about the new change. Actually, a LOT! I like the new fonts and colors, which makes it feel more modern. I like the way I can just click and drag images to our posts. I like the animation used in their transitions. I'm sure I will learn to love the new format, well, it's not like we have any choice...just gotta learn to deal with it and be happy, happy, happy!

I got something in the mail today as well...and it's really really awesome! It's my first and only one so far. Guess what it is? It's definitely Tick related!

Very Kewl! I'm glad it made it there okay. Thanks for posting!

That is really well done! I went back and forth with the artist regarding that black patch or shadow that appears on Barry Hubris now and again, but I defer to Randy who's convinced me that it was really just foreshadowing that appears on Barry and not a large tick shaped colored cowling! This is gonna rock!
