[publication] screwhead at hot metal bridge

Thirteen years ago at a family reunion in Connecticut (it may have been Christmas, or possibly Thanksgiving, or maybe just summer vacation), my uncle, musician and composer Doug Katsaros, played a tape of cartoons for us of a new show that featured his original music. The cartoon was goofy and satirical and hilarious, and we couldn't stop watching

Major spoonage

OK. With your post and this, I get two Tick references in my fl in five minutes.

Look for
The Jungian label....

LOL! Awesome!

And wow, his costume is amazing.

Sadly, both boxed sets of season 1 and season 2 of The Tick are each lacking an episode. From what I've heard on the rumor mill, they're tied up in litigation. (And no wonder -- the first episode features the Mole Men!)

I saw that too. Though it looks like the UK box sets are actually complete.

Ah, really? I may have to pick those up, since I'm about to get a DVD player that is hackable to play all regions (mainly so I can get unedited Quantum Leap DVDs from the UK). If all else fails, I also have all the episodes recorded from television, which I copied from my VHS tapes to DVDs, if you're interested in a low-budget (ie. free) way to revisit the show. :)

Very cool about your uncle. I loved the music on that show!

Me too! One of my favorite bits is when The Tick and Arthur have been captured by Chairface, and are hanging suspended over a pit of alligators, and The Tick gets an idea and shouts, "Swing with me Arthur! Swing!" and then big band swing music starts up in the background. It cracks me up every time.

Apropos of nothing, this Singapore coworking group might interest you.

Hey, cool. Thanks, Rose! I'll definitely have to look into that (especially since my internet connection at home is so tenuous).
