From its genesis on the Internet, this collection of strips spoofs the spoof as the first-ever parody of The Tick! Like The Tick's Big Internet Comic, NEC first ran these on their website, and now collects them into a real, live, hard copy! But wait, there's more! They've adding a whole new, never-before-seen Tick & Artie story! Tick & Artie features the antics of The City's Park's more miniscule members. Tick is, well, a real tick with delusions of being a super-hero. Guided by his trusty moth friend Artie (a real moth), Tick strives to protect weaker insects everywhere; to be a paragon of the exo-skeletal community; and to not eat the bugs he's trying to save! Who's this guy "Evil?" Find out in Tick & Artie #1!
