The Tick vs. The Boogie Man

This episode introduces a strange sorcerer who moves in upstairs from Tick and Arthur. Tick isn't his usual self, though, and it comes out that he is being visited each night by the Boogie Man. The Sorcerer chooses to investigate since Boogie Men can usually only attack children and he finds that the Boogie Man can attack Tick due to a deep psychological scar in Tick's psyche; he felt guilty about buring up Little Wooden Boy.

Tick eventually has to face his fears and battle a giant, flaming Wooden Boy while the sorcerer battles the Boogie Man. Tick eventually apologizes to Little Wooden Boy and manages to reconcile, but not before Arthur and the sorcerer's wife become good friends (they have a lot in common; they both live with crazy people).
