Vincent Hanna: One voter; 16,472 votes. A slight anomaly...?

Edmund: Not really, Mr. Hanna -- you see, Baldrick may look like a monkey who's been put in a suit and then strategically shaved, but he is a brilliant politician. The number of votes I cast is simply a reflection of how firmly I believe in his policies.

The main exceptions to that rule of thumb are "Paul the Samurai", which was also written by Ben Edlund (at least the first issue or two -- don't remember if it went anywhere after that)

He wrote the three Paul comics in the Limited Series, but he only gets credit for concept in the regular series. The entire series was written by Clay Griffith and ran ten issues. Clay also wrote the Man-Eating Cow spinoff and the two of them together shared a common story in Paul #9, #10 and MEC #9, #10.

"Chainsaw Vigilante", which I think was by someone else but was still pretty funny

It was written (and drawn) by Zander Cannon, and only comprised of three issues.

If you want, you can read more about all the comics at Tribute To The Tick. It's not completely up to date, but it's got all the old stuff and most of the new up to about a year ago.

I wholly suggest that if anyone is looking into diving into the Tick comics, get the original series, and get the Omnibus editions. NEC is wonderful about putting a lot of Tick comics together into one book so you can buy it at a lower price. Plus, they're easier to find, so I've heard...

For those of you interested, I have a Tick News section on one of my websites that I'll be collecting the various story links on. If you have any more, I'd love to see them. Unfortunately, I'm not as elite enough as /. to allow discussions -- something I'm currently still writing (but there are other Tick discussion boards (and newsgroup) if you really need to vent to fellow Tick fans). I won't make it a secret I'm a little scared about a live-action Tick (I've been a big fan since the comic first came out), but something is better than nothing... and maybe, just maybe this will be popular enough to propel The Tick onto the big screen. I'm tired of waiting. Ben! Hurry up already!
