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.

  1. Tick and current events by BillyGoatThree · · Score: 1, Redundant

    First, I loved the first episode. Patrick Warburton and David Burke (?) were perfectly cast and the writing was 90% (which is excellent for a pilot).

    The biggest problem, I found, were the villians. Heavily accented Soviets plan to release a destructive force inside a large city. It's ridiculous and dated on the one side, disturbingly realistic and familiar on the other.

    So my question: Is it tasteful or even possible to humorously depict Evil Masterminds so soon after a chilling reminder of real evil?
