Ask Tick Creator Ben Edlund

← Back to Stories (view on slashdot.org)

Posted by Roblimo on Friday November 9, 2001 @05:15AM 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.

It was completely apparent to me that Liz Vassey's aerolas were very much visible through the buff-colored pantyhose material you sewed over her star cut.

Especially her right one...just an inch down from the point and very visible brownish-pink half-circle.

Did you not notice, or not care? Thank you for making this horny 12-year-old's day.

  So what if I am gay?
  Most men like women, I like other men. In fact, I'm special unlike the rest of you faceless human mass.

  I really don't care if you are gay. What you do is your business. The point I am trying to make here, is that gay guys will act differently in these situations (have a different creative approach). Just like men and women. Now, please scurry off and stop misinterpreting peoples comments.

Don't panic.
Men won't mind. Just don't let even a single woman at your workplace smell it. Like other women, she's bound to gossip and soon all the other women at your workplace know about your lacking personal hygiene. And do you know what that means? You'll never score with that hot co-worker at your company's Christmas party...

SCENE I. Elsinore. A platform before the castle.

FRANCISCO at his post. Enter to him BERNARDO
BERNARDO
Who's there?

FRANCISCO
Nay, answer me: stand, and unfold yourself.

BERNARDO
Long live the king!

FRANCISCO
Bernardo?

BERNARDO
He.

FRANCISCO
You come most carefully upon your hour.

BERNARDO
'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Francisco.

FRANCISCO
For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
And I am sick at heart.

BERNARDO
Have you had quiet guard?

FRANCISCO
Not a mouse stirring.

BERNARDO
Well, good night.
If you do meet Horatio and Marcellus,
The rivals of my watch, bid them make haste.

FRANCISCO
I think I hear them. Stand, ho! Who's there?

Enter HORATIO and MARCELLUS

HORATIO
Friends to this ground.

C'mon, people, mod this up. This is a question that needs to be asked. It's essential that we discover the identity of the Goatse man, because he has the most-viewed rectum in the entire world. He's famous! Wouldn't you like to meet him and shake his hand (after he's washed them, of course)?

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.
