I liked that although he didn't mention it, the midgets had a big red D on their chests ... which I assume was an abbreviation for "defense mechanism" which is what they were, but it's vaguely reminiscent of DareDevil's costume and just in general in keeping with the "alphabet soup" concept of costuming in comic books where so many of the heroes have monogrammed costumes. Daredevil, Captain America, Thor (?), Herculese, Superman, etc. etc... Although throughout the rest of the series (the Tick) I can't remember ever seeing another character who had a monogram. :P I coulda seen them done it with Barry (the Tick) or Die Fledermaus to emphasize their narcicism. :)
And on an only marginally related note: Tiff is a big fan of Steven King's the Stand. (I'm not a big fan of anything Steven King), and was watching the video the other day and it just occurred to me how similar TrashCan Man is to ... to uh... so he says to me, I don't like the cut of your jib. And I says, It's the only jib I got Baby! Yea!! Yea!! I wanna be evil! I'm making gravy without the lumps!!! Hahahahhahahahahaaha!!!!!!!! I just wanted to wash my hands...
