Been thinking about The Tick a lot lately, and it was just serendipitous that the patron asked for him. The Tick is very special to me, but I didn’t want to just draw him standing or posing. I consulted a friend about what I should do with this sketch. He suggested Tick reading a comic and eating Andy Capp Hot Fries.
As I worked it out, originally, I was going to have Tick reading a Deadpool comic (fresh on the brain from the newest movie) and not finding it funny. Then, for some reason Savage Dragon came into my mind.
So I made this political commentary. Views expressed by The Tick ARE the views of the creator, when it comes (cums?) to that book. I stopped reading Dragon around 20 years ago, but still flip through it on occasion, and lately, every single issue is about Mickey Mouse being a rapist, dripping labias, and cumshots. Eww. Gross. I mean, Tarot, Witch of the Black Rose is telling Erik Larsen to ease up.
Anyway. Spoon.
