Notes

References

  • "Hang ten for justice!", from the first line of the familiar haiku, is a direct quote from The Tick cartoon.
  • The Tick's battlecry is "SPOOOOOOOON!"
  • The phrase 'My spoon is too big' comes from Don Hertzfeldt's short film Rejected, which also includes a scene where angry ticks fire out of a character's nipples.
  • The name of the familiar is a play on the term "nervous tic."
  • The Maypole combat message is a reference to the movie Stop Making Sense. In the film, a concert movie featuring Talking Heads, David Byrne does some twitchy, flailing dancing in a big suit.
