THE TICK CLASSIC 1998 WALL CLOCK SPINNING INTO SPACE AND THIS ONE WERE MADE BY CHANEY INSTRUMENT COMPANY IN LAKE GENEVA, WISCONSIN, USA. THIS 8-1/2" QUARTZ CLOCK IS ENCASED IN A DURABLE POLYSTYRENE RED CASE WITH CLEAR LENS. THE AMERICAN-MADE MOVEMENTS USE ONE "AA" BATTERY WHICH ORIGINALLY CAME INCLUDED. DURABLE HANDS INCLUDE SWEEP SECOND HAND, WHATEVER THAT MEANS, SINCE THE SECOND HAND ON THIS ONE TICKS AROUND THE CLOCK. COMES IN A SPECIAL CORRUGATED BOX THAT HAS LONG BEEN GONE AND RECYCLED INTO MILK CARTONS MANY MANY MOOOOONS AGO! THIS MULTI-COLOR TICK GRAPHICS OCCUPY THE FULL DISPLAY, INCLUDING TISH-ISH NUMERALS. THEY PLANNED ON HAVING A TICK WALL CLOCK IN EVERY OFFICE AT THE GIANT NEC PRESS CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS (ALL TWO OF THEM!). ONE WAS THE ONE THAT SAID "THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR JUSTICE!"...AND THEN THERE IS THE OTHER ONE...WITH THE TICK FLOATING IN OUTER SPACE!

I think the only thing missing is The Little Wooden Boy...and his spoon! Alright, alright, alright...it's 12:12AM already!

I've commissioned Fun Stuff Customs in Houston, Texas to build me a Barry Hubris Custom Action Figure. Thanks Randy for taking this project on! This is going to be wildly wicked kewl!

Here's the tally so far and we're only two days in! How cool is that!

You're welcome! Thanks for playing!

I'm still on the fence on the recent costumes. I think there's room for growth. Production artists might want to go to Stan Lee's Comikaze Comic Con because I think modern day cosplay enthusiasts have really raised the bar, utilizing heated molded rubber mats from Harbor Freight for example,

Not a bad start for 2017!

So far, this months entries are...

WOW! Only 20 more minutes and 2016 is no more! Getting ready to welcome in the New Year...gotta jet! A Meaner Darker Tick From The Creator: Randall Patty. Owner of Fun Stuff Customs www.facebook.com/funstuffcustoms/ Randy started making customs for his children because of a special request for a “Spider-Bat” and at that time none existed. Realizing that he had a knack for customization, a Grendel Custom Action Figure soon followed and was immediately snatched up on Ebay within 24 hours. Randy specializes in more obscure characters that don’t have toys already available i.e., The Tick, Grendel, and Karnak. The Tick was made from a Drax The Destroyer toy from the 1990s and was his first and most desired custom. Thanks goes out to Randall Patty for his experience and insight on this Custom Action Figure and we expect to be seeing a lot more from this up and coming artist. (aka randa-patt on Ebay). Hey Randy! How about The Tick's arch nemesis Barry Hubris when you have a chance?

Recently traded a Tick Omnibus #2 that was 6th print. Wo! What did the Cover look like? pray tell! Tick Omnibus 2 6th Ah! That makes sense! They must have rerun the 5th edition mad cow cover again! Thanks SilverWolf!

I think 2017 is gonna rock! With The Tick coming back in full force and not to mention all the Cinematic Block Busters that's in the line up! Here's the list so far!

I made a spreadsheet of what I think is everything ever printed on The Tick, but my gut feelings think I missed a few. Anyone see any mistakes? Please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Wombat!
