I suppose I should tell you what's going on with this site. Basically, if The Tick is on hold, this is on hold. I certainly haven't given up on the site, or The Tick, though it seems that NEC (The Tick's publisher) has.

What the hell, NEC? Are you going to publish more comics or not? There are plenty of fans out there, eagerly waiting more Tick.

Got the comics list up to date. Meaning all the Christmas Trilogy and Golden Age comics are now listed. Sure hope NEC starts up a new series of regular comics soon.

The quiz will be up again very soon, though I'll have to write all the questions again. No big deal.

Once the quiz is up again, I'll be able to start work on some MySQL database programming to make this site much easier for me to update. I know I have the old HTML-generation program around here somewhere, but it's just too much of a hassle. Soon though...soon.

I've all but closed our Tick message board. Nobody goes there anyway. I put up a link to the board I always go to instead, but to be honest, hardly anyone goes there either.

Now is a bad time for us Tick fans, since there's really nothing happening with the series. There are some petitions and polls out for getting the cartoon and live-action show on DVDs, and NEC is trying to decide what to put in a new trade paperback, but that's about it.

I could REALLY go for a new comic series soon.

Still not dead. Just so you know, I'm currently working on learning PHP, so the guide can be much, much easier for me to update.

I'm still working on the site! I've not given up yet! Just added the 2002 Christmas Trilogy to the list. They're going to be great. At least as far as holiday-oriented comics go. I personally dislike holiday-specific comics, tv episodes, movies, books, music, and all that stuff, because if I read/watch/listen to any of it when it's not close to the holiday, then it's creates an awkward feeling, like showing up for a parade the day before it happens, or staying up to watch Saturday Night Live on a Friday. Plus, I hate those cheerful lessons/morals that always show up at the end, like "it's the thought that counts" and all that rubbish. Here's a moral for you: "Love your neighbors. Kick their pets." See how well that goes over. At least it makes you think, and there's obviously not enough thinking going around these days, the evidence being the number of republicans who've just been elected to various parts of our crooked government.

Whoops. Rambling. I'm looking forward to the Tick X-Mas Tril, and let's leave it at that.
