The Tick from comic book to TV and still in the shadows

The Tick is one of the weirdest comic book creations. It started first as a newsletter for a comic book shop and has since been rebooted countless times and none of them have really lasted more than a few seasons. Each one of those iterations is a little different than the last, and true fans have followed him every step of the way. On today's show we’re going to investigate how a character with so much awesome going for it is still SOMEHOW lurking in the shadow of greatness.
