I am a superhero, chum. Evil, in any form, is definitely not okay with me. I love coffee, and Wordle too. My sidekick is Arthur, who's still socially shy.

Hello, Bluesky citizens. According to experts here, the gathering in The City for its No Kings march today was the largest in The City's history. It easily outdid the huge crowd that gathered when The City Limits repeated as League of Ordinary Baseball Team champions a few years ago. Neat!

Well, I know I feel safer knowing this marauding children's gang of infielders, outfielders, pitchers and catchers won't be able to terrorize the good people of Williamsport.

Afternoon patrol of The City in progress. I wanted to post something about brain-dead individuals who are offended by Superman's virtuous nature, but words are failing me at the moment. Sad that evolution is so elusive for some.

Afternoon patrol of The City in progress. I just turned down the role of Grand Marshall of The City's Fourth of July parade tomorrow because frankly I'm not sure there's reason to celebrate. Elected evil is the worst evil.

Honestly, Arthur, I don't see what's so supreme about it. Supreme seems like an out and out fib.

Friday greetings, Bluesky. The notion of Friday the 13th being ominous just seems quaint at this point. Stay strong, everyone.

For the record, I stand just over 7 feet tall, weigh around 550 (give or take) and could probably throw a small car over the left field wall at Fenway Park from home plate. Having said that, I have questions, as did Senator Padilla. We clear? #NoMoreMrNiceTick

To uh, quote a friend of mine: So, this all seems horrible.

Thursday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress! It's a strange (yet vaguely familiar) feeling starting each day with the thought "I wonder what (insert evildoer here) and the president will be up to today." Stay strong, everyone!

Wednesday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress! A patrol first: Arthur retrieved someone's wayward pet canary (in mid air!). Winged sidekicks, am I right?! Onward and upward!

Tuesday - and Earth Day - greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress! Protection of the environment here in the US is up to us. The 'P' seems sorely lacking in our EPA. Stay green, everyone!

Monday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress! The best thing to do when you don't know WHAT to do? Do the best thing you CAN do. It works for me, and I hope you too.

Sunday - and Easter - greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City continues! Limiting myself to a half-pound of jellybeans, and feeling very disciplined. I learned from last year (turns out four pounds was WAY overdoing it). Stay moderational, everyone!

Saturday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress! Currently a large and peaceful 50501 protest going on near Third and Long. Great to see such support for our Constitution. Stay resistant, everyone.

One game at a time, Dianne! (Our beloved The City Limits currently in second place behind the Anytown Mascots, but a long way to go still!)

Seemed like a sensible concept.

The Tick @thetick1.bsky.social · 30/03/2025
Thanks, Dizzy! All in all it was very positive. The interdimensional country we visited had laws against electing convicted felons to any office, so they were uh, you know, advanced.

Sunday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress! Our much delayed interdimensional mission was completed last night (whew) and no dimensional lag! (And happy a 86th to Batman!)

Thanks, Dizzy. We've been on the interdimensional tarmac since this morning. We keep hearing "any time now!"

Saturday greetings, Bluesky. Morning patrol of The City in progress. Arthur and I are scheduled for an interdimensional mission. No telling how long it will take - and there's a chance it could go haywire. Wish us luck.

Thursday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City in progress! Arthur said April Fools Day pranks next week would seem redundant now, and I think I have to agree with my sidekick. Stay strong, everyone!

Wednesday greetings, Bluesky! Morning patrol of The City continues! Haven't had to do much superheroing yet; just helping out those in need. ... Which I guess IS superheroey. So uh, be super, everyone!
