Editor's Note
The Tick, that big, blue, "nigh-invulnerable" but none-too-bright cartoon defender of truth and justice, gets his start as defender of The City in these hilarious, goofy, and very sharp episodes from the show's classic first season. He joins up with his loyal sidekick, Arthur, an accountant in a moth suit, and together they battle evil in all its guises, exchanging loopy, brilliant dialogue, and meeting up with characters like El Seed and Brainchild. Season two finds the Tick getting into the reality television craze, and he has to find a replacement for his beloved Arthur. This release includes every episode from the series' wacky second season.

Ben Edlund's Saturday-morning cartoon The Tick never got as surreal and random as his original comic-book version, but it was still the oddest thing in animation in 1994...the series' best parts generally come from the ancillary characters: The Tick's nervous accountant sidekick Arthur, the smarmy Batman parody Die Fledermaus, the freaky grandstanding villains, the crowd of low-rent hero-wannabes like Bipolar Bear and the Caped Chameleon. They keep the tone varied and provide less over-the-top perspectives, turning The Tick into an unwitting straight man. The Tick's animation is cheap and the pacing is erratic, but it can't help but be charming: It's a giddily overeager, surreal satire about a man who never loses his enthusiasm for the things he loves, because he lacks the sensitivity to notice the laughter aimed at him. - Tasha Robinson
