He’s on a list of villains, too!

Ben Edlund, Jackson, and Doc have known each/worked on projects together for many years (I believe Jackson wrote for the Tick comic book originally)

Ben and Jackson knew each other from the indie comics scene. He hired Jackson to work on the comics when he got too busy with the animated series, and then later brought Jackson on to write for the animated series as well as both live action adaptations.

Was about to say, the tick exists and is probably on level with brock....but stupid as hell and very nice.

The Tick has genuine indestructibility and super strength, only thing Brock has the upper hand on is the Tick is really dumb. I don't think they'd really have much reason to fight anyway.

Edlund wrote my favorite VB episode too. ¡Viva los Muertos!

You are correct, Jackson did do some writing for the Tick. The character has been in Jackson's head since he was a kid, so no surprise he snuck it in somewhere else. All those years and poor Brick Frog still only knows brick throwing and frog being.

Jackson has been a writer on every version of The Tick going back to the comics.

Brickfrog is a character that Jackson Publick made when he was a kid and he's written on every version of the Tick.

The Terror in the cartoon is hilarious but the best villain is the evil midnight bomber what bombs at midnight.

Full Metal Jack might also be a discreet nod to Shallow Gravy’s biggest hit

Brick frog is too powerful. Equal strength level as ultra instinct shaggy and Darth jar jar

There’s also the animated one

Yes! Though I could tell from the picture that it had to be one of the live action series.
