The
Sidekick's Lounge
Home of the City's Sidekicks
They are
the brave, underappreciated layer of justice between the evil-doers
and their victims, the Sidekick. And lest I be accused of kicking
them aside, here is a page just for them.

Arthur
Arthur
is The Tick's sidekick. He
is a former accountant who sets out to become a superhero after
he buys a flying moth suit at an auction. Arthur is one of the
few characters that appears in the comic, the cartoon, and the
live action series as himself, and he has writeups in all three
heroes sections (cartoons, comics,
live). In many ways, Arthur is the most
interesting character in the series, as he is the straight man
who is often the victim of the Tick's quirks.
Arthur
also gets a chance to 'kick for some other superheroes in Alone
Together when everyone thinks The Tick has been blown into
space. He works with Die
Fledermaus but quits when he realizes Die Fledermaus never
actually fights crime and he kicks for Human
Bullet but quits after being shot out of the cannon. Arthur
also spends some time as a supervillain after he steals a muscle-enhancing
belt from Baron Violent,
but he comes to realize the error of his ways.

Speak
The Furry Moist Avenger
Speak
is a Capybara from Mexico who becomes The
Tick's pet. Of course, Tick thinks Speak is a dog...but hey,
no one's perfect. Speak only actually speaks twice; once when
Tick had fallen out of a plane and was delirious, and once in
Arthur's description of
the Tick's fantasies; but both times are hilarious. I just wish
they had introduced Speak earlier in the series.
Appearances:
Sidekicks Don't Kiss,
Tick vs. Arthur, Tick
vs. Europe, Tick vs. Prehistory,
Tick vs. Education
Speak
was voiced by Jess Harnell
