	Tick Fever Endures: Ben Edlund Talks About the Evolution of Everyone's Favorite Blue Superhero (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Edlund was given the chance to develop this naive and "nigh-invulnerable" protagonist when New England Comics (NEC), a retail comic book store based in Boston, asked him to do some gag drawings for an upcoming issue.
		Considering Edlund's typical work style (he is notorious for working at his own speed and ignoring deadlines), the transition to the fast-paced world of network television was relatively painless.
		These days, Edlund is spread so thin over a host of film and TV projects that he sometimes has trouble finding the energy to put a stamp on an envelope and drop it into a mailbox.

	Firefly - Episode Review - Jaynestown.
		This show was written by Ben Edlund who also co-wrote Titan AE, he is a well respected writer in film and television. His fans however, recognize his genius as the creator of The Tick, a much loved parody of modern super-heros.
		Ben's success is due primarily to his ability to add subtext and sophistication to his characters and of course, the way he makes us almost wet ourselves with his unique style of comedy. He is an accomplished artist, but his literary talents are almost legendary.
		Welp! Considering the edification of Ben Edlund at the beginning of this review, this was an uninspiring episode. The direction was pretty good and the acting fair, but the story was predictable and the dialogue was poor.

		Ben: For me, the most successful shot in the show is the one where Spike throws Puppet Angel up and he lands on his feet in the foreground, because that's puppet magic, baby!
		The thing I really liked about doing this episode is that Ben wrote the script, so he pretty much knew what he wanted from the puppet and the script that he wrote was very puppet-friendly.
		Ben: [The visual effects] are pretty wild because it takes a long time for them to fully etch [Drew] out of the frame.

		He earned notoriety among Firefly fans when he wrote the infamous song "Hero of Canton" which appeared in "Jaynestown." "This was one of the first times we began to realize what a force we had with Ben Edlund, who pitched the idea [of the episode]...," Joss Whedon told CFQ in an interview.
		"Ben is one of those guys who comes up with ideas – and he’s doing it on Angel, too – where you just go, 'Uh, yes.

		Though Edlund's original stories still boast the same silliness we've come to expect from the property, there are moments a nastier side creeps about the periphery of the comedy.
		Edlund's designs clearly took on a greater level of detail as the years passed as well.
		Edlund (and on the thirteenth issue, other creators) structures the series as one- or two-issue stories with some overlapping character development, and that allowed him to put a lot of characters and interesting plots, not to mention a staggering number of riffs on pop-culture (with a focus on the super-hero genre) into the book.

		There may be something funnier than a group of ninjas standing around, holding twigs, and telling passerby that they are, in fact a hedge and not a group of ninja warriors, and that they should "move along." I have yet to find such a thing.
		Edlund is a fine writer and has almost accomplished a voiding-of-my-bladder with his tight humor and damn excellent visual comedy.
		Edlund has found several different jobs since he stopped production on The Tick comics (most notably, Edlund reworked The Tick as short-lived live action TV show, as well as having written episodes for Joss Whedon's Angel and wonderful-but-cancelled Firefly).

	Whedonesque : Comments on 6515 : Angel & Firefly producer/writer Ben Edlund brings The Tick back to comicbooks. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Angel and Firefly producer & writer Ben Edlund will bring back his cult hero The Tick in a limited-series named The Tick: Days of Drama and published by New England Comics.
		None of the other writers/artists touched Edlund's genius with the blue man. Funny, while not a fan of most of the work he has done since the comic, when reading the original series a while ago, it struck me how much Edlund is like Joss.
		I'm not usually one to go, "blah blah blah back in the day he was much better blah blah blah" but I have never thought Edlund lived up to his promise that the TICK comic held.

		It may be the type of crime that even a powerful superhero like the Tick won't be able to fight.
		Based on Ben Edlund's cult comic book and the animated series, The Tick is fun and goofy in a way that not many shows are these days.
		The moment you see Warburton in his big blue Tick suit on the roof of the bus station, there's no doubt this superhero sitcom will have a style and humor all its own.

	RftFP: The Tick Omnibus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This collection, reprinting the first six issues of Ben Edlund's masterpiece, is a very good idea, since it forestalls the possibility of him putting forth a fifth edition of the first and second issues, and frees more of his time to actually putting out new issues of the damn thing.
		In the intervening five years, Edlund has broadened his market, starting other titles such as Paul the Samurai, and the Man-Eating Cow.
		The Tick has unfortunately been somewhat neglected and has only managed to struggle to issue 13, at last count.

		Based on the comic book of the same name created by Ben Edlund and the resulting 1994 Saturday morning cartoon show, this live-action series burrowed into TVLand in November of 2001 and, eight episodes later, was squashed.
		Since I'm still in mourning over Sci-Fi Channel's cancellation of "Farscape," I can't say I was all that surprised by the "gotta go" lunacy of Fox executives.
		The DVD contains commentaries by Edlund on three of its episodes: "Arthur Interrupted," "Couples" and "Tick vs. Justice." Okay, so his view of The Tick as Don Quixote may sound strange, but it works.
