    Given the surrealist nature of The Tick, I can imagine him saying

    I am very proud of our angry little women

    But I can’t imagine The Tick making it about politics. So one of two things is true. Either

    A) The Tick never said that. In which case I’m confused how you read this story/headline, and immediately assosiated it with The Tick.

    Or

    B) There’s some episode where “leftie” doesn’t pertain to politics, and you’re using the quote for the meme, although out of context.

    So I guess my question is, which episode is this from? I grew up on The Tick, and I don’t remember this line. I’m less versed in the comics. Is it from the comic, even though this is a screenshot from the 1995 animated show?

      It’s actually

      C) I didn’t make it myself AND likely

      D) The Tick is just there because whomever made it happens to like him and/or consider the pose fitting for being proud of someone or something 🤷🏻

        Oddly enough, saying quirky things is kinda The Tick’s whole thing.

        So, from that petspective, they probably picked the best superhero.
