SPOOOOONNNNNNNN!!! On August 29, 2006, Buena Vista Home Entertainment released the first season of The Tick on DVD as The Tick Vs. Season One. This collection contains only 12 of the 13 episodes. On May 31, 2006, Disney released the following statement regarding the missing episode: "Due to licensing problems, episode #11 ("The Tick vs. The Mole Men") is not included. However, we hope to include it in future DVD releases of The Tick. This spoon given out at the San Diego Comic Con that year celebrated the release of The Tick DVD.

THIS ONE WAS PRETTY HARD TO GET...AND THEN I OPENED UP THE PACKAGING TO TAKE SOME DECENT PHOTOS OF IT...HARD TO FIND GOOD SHOTS OF IT ONLINE. PVC figures The original series of 3" tall PVC collectibles figurines featuring characters from Tick animated series were released by Bandai in 1994. There were two versions of Dinosaur Neil, one released in Canada, with a bilingual English/French card and one in Australia with an English only card. The latter is very rare. Dinosaur Neil is a character from the animated television series, The Tick, Voiced by Danny Mann, he is a near middle-aged man with a thick moustache who works at a dinosaur park, apparently as a mascot: he is always seen wearing a green dinosaur. However, he is actually a paleontologist. This little guy is 3" to the top of his head and then the horn extends past by about 1/8". The backing card reads as follows: The Tick, Collectible Figures Personnages A Collectionner. IRWIN. We remember when we were kids. #2612. As Seen On Fox. Comme Vu Sur Fox Kids Network.

Cool! I've had some correspondence with the artist that created the art work that we found at that yard sale I talked about before. Wanna see what a pic of it and who drew it? He said congratulations...you own an original!

Figured I better slow down on putting up stuff here and quit annoying peeps.

Ah, Tick #7. My 13 year old self has a letter published in there. The line starts here for SS people! ...now if I can get the CGC witness to stay still long enough!!! ...

Happy Friday Everyone! Wow!..that's pretty cool! You were actually in one of The Tick Comic Magazines! Not too many people can say that. Very Cool!

Thanks for the update!! x1K I just read this the following article about The Tick Movie as well...released 6 days ago. http://brioux.tv/2016/01/what-matters-most-warburton-on-amazons-re-boot-of-the-tick/

POGS! This was the best I could do. All the blank spots are the ones I'm missing but I doubt I could even find one more nowadays.

THE TICK - PRINT - THE WRATH OF GODS LIMITED PRINT. JUST LIKE PROMETHEUS, EVEN THE TICK MUST FACE THE RIGHTEOUS WRATH OF THE GODS NOW AND AGAIN. THIS FANTASTIC HOMAGE TO THE CLASSIC GREEK STORY WAS JUST RECENTLY UNEARTHED IN NEC WAREHOUSE. DRAWN AND INKED BY NON OTHER THEN TICK CREATOR BEN EDLUND, THIS PRINT WAS A GIVE AWAY AT THE DIAMOND COMICS SEMINAR WAY BACK IN 1993. SOME OF YOU MAY ALSO NOTICE THAT THIS IMAGE WAS USED TO CREATE THE BACKDROP FOR THE INFAMOUS TICK: PUNCH ME OUT WALL CLOCK CRAFTED YEARS AGO. HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!

I'm just feeling a little rough around the edges this morning!

Too funny! Well, here's another acquisition while I ponder on that....okay...pondered enough...NOOOOOOOO PS!!!! SPOOOOOOOON spelled backwards!

It wasn't Tick related but I got a kick out of it anyways. It's a framed panel of six cartoons that seem to be sequential from 1 thru 5. It's sealed in the back and the backing paper seems to be pretty old, maybe from 1960-1970? I'm still doing my research on it for conversation sake. The bottom line is, I think it's a really cool piece measuring about 23" x 26" framed. Back in the days, they used to throw away their original out-takes and remnants. This one looks like the artwork found in old magazines like The New Yorker. I'm trying to if this piece has ever been published. The frame although intact, is chipped around the edges, nothing that a black sharpie can't fix. But I don't think it's a good idea to replace the frame though, it has that brown paper backing, cracked and aging that just gives it all the more appeal. I'll write more about it as I discover anything else about it. On a side note, coming this February is the Modernist appreciation week in Palm Springs, California. I wish I could make it but I don't think we'll have the funds to swing it this time.

My Tick Books From Left To Right: 1). The Tick: the Complete Edlund NEW EDITION! Paperback - January 1, 2011: NEW ENGLAND COMICS (W/A) Ben Edlund (W) Benito Cereno (A) Les McClaine New Edition! New Story! Now includes an awesome brand-new 8-page story from current Tick All-Star creators Benito Cereno & Les McClaine! An all-new untold story which answers previously never-answered questions about mysterious events which befell The Tick in the original Edlund storyline!

The Tick Mighty Blue Justice! Paperback - May 1, 1997: He's blue! He fights crime! He's a cartoon! Now in his third successful season on Fox Kids Network and Comedy Central, the big blue crimefighter has boldly leapt his way into the collective consciousness of fans across America. This first "biography" of the well-meaning superhero lets fans in on what makes the Tick, well, tick. I love The Tick. The Tick is keen, which is why this book is so neccesary for anyone who fancies themselves a fan of The Tick. Starting out as a comic book (which it still is) The Tick was then turned into a television show on the famed Fox kids network. Unfortunately, the genius behind the Tick was apparantly big on procrastination, never having episodes ready on time. This prompted the cancallation of the program, but I'll always still love it. Even 5 years later, it remains one of my favourite shows of all time. There was so much humour that I never got when I was little. But now, I pick up on the jokes that I never understood when I was a child of the tender age of 9. Anyways, this book collects the plot of 34 of the 36 shows released before it's cancellation, a guide to becoming a superhero, info on finding a sidekick, the Tick's origin, interviews, and even "Arthurs Section Of Scientific Facts So That This Book Can Legitimately Be Read In School." There is a guide to other superheroes, supervilians (including the Man Eating Cow who just so happens to look like and act like a normal cow), and the list of questions and answers that were often read and replied to at the end of the shows. This book left me in stitches laughing the first time I read it, and even now it remains one of the funniest books I've ever read. It's not conventional humor, but it remains oh so funny. If you like The Tick and wondered why it was taken off the air, and if you can't get enough of anything Tick, then you need to get this book. This is probably the only book I can read that remains as funny the third and fourth time through as it is the first time... Midnight Bomber Sez: So he says, "You wanna' be a bad guy?" and I says, I says "Yeah baby! Surf's up Space Ponies! I'm making gravy without the lumps! AAAHHHHHAAHHHH!" 3). The Tick Funhouse A World of Pain(T) Paperback - July 1,1997: The Tick and Arthur get slimed by the Green Gob in the lead story, while Life with Louie and Bobby's World appear in their own back-up features. 4). The Tick: Six Action-packed Adventures Paperback book September 1, 1994: A seven-foot-tall, four-hundred-pound escaped mental patient-turned-superhero begins a zany adventure against the forces of evil--or so he thinks--as he crashes around the city, defeating the bad guys in unexpected ways. TV tie-in. Tick finds his destiny -- Tick vs. the Breadmaster -- Tick vs. Chairface Chippendale -- Tick vs. Dinosaur Neil -- tick vs. El Seed -- Tick vs. Mr. Mental.

As a side note, my wife and I went yard selling this weekend and we bought an original piece of comic book artwork for $5.00 and we absolutely love it! Amazing what you can find out there while getting a little bit of exercise!
