Tick
vs. Arthur
|
This
is the second episode with Speak,
and it contains many revelations. First, we learn that Speak is
not in fact a dog at all, but is in fact a Capybara (the largest
rodent in the world). Then, we learn that if he had muscles Arthur
would be a big jerk.
The
chief villain of this episode is Baron
Violent, a mix of The Punisher and The
Red Scare. His power comes from a muscle belt, though. The
Baron put the belt on 6 and beat up the Civic Minded Five, and
with the belt on 7 he managed to slow up The
Tick. Arthur manages to steal the belt, though, and when Tick
takes Speak to the vet Arthur goes on a bit of a rampage.

on it. But let's not forget what's really important here; this

The
Tick:
Speak!
We need a furry, moist avenger like you on the team! Come on, man; let's
bark up the right tree together!
You stuck your thumb into the Christmas pie of my brain and pulled out
the plum of my innermost dreams!
I loosed my lips and sunk the ship of my own privacy.
Bad Man! Hit Dog! With Street!
Tropical parasites, your carefree infestation ends here! Tonight, you
swim in ointments of righteous hygiene!
Of course, you're not a dog! You're a wonderful loveable rodent! And
there's nothing wrong with that! No, if that's your lifestyle choice
then we'll stand behind you all the way.
Evil is never in fashion!
Arthur, stop it! You know I'm my own comic relief!
Ok, buddy, I'm taking off the kid gloves and putting on the VERY MAD
gloves!
Absolute power is a sticky wicket!

Violent:
The bigger
I am, the harder they fall!
