Ask Tick Creator Ben Edlund

Posted by Roblimo on from the spread-your-own-creamy-justice dept.

The non-cartoon Tick debuted on Fox last night, so this is an ideal time to have Tick creator Ben Edlund as a Slashdot interview guest. Before you start typing, you may want to read this May 2000 interview with Ben to keep from duplicating questions and to see what kind of person he is. Then ask away. As usual, we'll send 10 of the highest-moderated questions to Ben, and publish his answers as soon as we get them back.

    Last sentence should have read 'and NOT just because...' Thanks! (btw, I'm certainly sober, I just type really bad!)

    I'm willing to sacrifice my 50 Karma to prove that I am serious.
    Can you see that I am serious! Join me or die. Can you do any less?

    (Oh, and if you want to be taken seriously, I think it may be better to articulate your point than to say with "screw you" and "please don't mod me down". I think your post would be more effective if you just trimmed out the rants.)

    "People like you who think that any depiction of anything other then fluffy puppy dogs on TV is inappropriate are continuing the work of the terrorists!"

    Yes, those people are annoying. I'm not one of them. Did I say I wanted Tick off the air? Did I say I was offended? No.

    I know a thing or two about humor. One of those things is that a joke can be a fragile and delicate thing. Even a slight disturbance will destroy it (or maim it beyond repair). WTC has temporarily (or even permanently) nullified "Evil Mastermind plots to destroy city" jokes for a lot of people. Thus my question about whether it is possible to have a humorous supervillian succeed in the current atmosphere.
