I was bored when coming back from Santa Barbara one day, so I spent thirty minutes on the train writing six haikus based on the Tick. It's mostly cartoon-centric, just to answer any questions that could come up beforehand. Please enjoy this and leave some feedback; I haven't practiced my poetry skills for a while.


Tall and muscular

As blue as the daylit sky

Leaps off to fight crime.


This justice keeper's

Origin is one unknown

Lost to a harmed mind.


He is not alone

His sidekick, Arthur, aids him,

Preparing for flight.


Chairface Chippendale

And the crooks of the City

Will fall at his feet.


Space, colds, and "baked bads"

Evil at every corner

They're simply his life.


Despite mysteries

And his flaws that scar him deep,

He is still the Tick.
