From: "Jim Sharkey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Nope. I used to read X-Men and GI Joe in the early/mid 80's, though. :) I had friends that spent hundreds of dollars annually on 'em, but once I hit high school and college they lost their appeal (the comics, not the friends,) -- probably 'cuz I had less spending $$.

Have you ever read the original 12 issues of the comic? Much funnier than even the cartoon. A great, absurd deconstruction of the superhero archetype.

I found the cartoon Tick interesting and funny for the first 5-7 episodes and then I sorta lost interest. I think at some point I only watched most cartoons to find adult-style references in the dialog and closing credits (P&TB's Mystery Credit, f.i.). Now I watch Star Trek for the same thing. ;)
