I am overjoyed to note that the original animated series, The Tick, will finally be released on DVD in August! The Tick vs. Season One is supposed to contain 12 of the first 13 episodes (The Tick vs. The Mole Men is missing due to "creative considerations"). I would prefer to see a nice boxed set containing the entire run, but at this point I'll take whatever crumbs Disney is willing to throw to us. Sigh.
Forthwith, some of my favorite Tick-isms:

I mean, I know it, I'm not dumb… just not in this context."
"I'm sure millions of viewers out there are just wondering what it's like to wear the tights of justice. Well, it's tingly and it's uncomfortable, but it gets the job done and, oh, the job of it."
"So once again, we find that evil of the past seeps into the present like salad dressing through cheap wax paper, mixing memory and desire."
"Well, once again, my friend, we find that science is a two-headed beast. One head is nice, it gives us aspirin and other modern conveniences… But the other head of science is bad. Oh, beware the other head of science, Arthur. It bites."
