Tick Tick Boom<\/strong><\/p>\n

I should probably put a little disclaimer here: if you have ever had any serious issues with ticks being attached to any part of your body and you’d care to forget all about it, it might be best to avoid this comic.\u00c2\u00a0 That’s OK, there are two good ones right below this to choose from.\u00c2\u00a0 As someone who has had to deal with a tick before, seeing the bloated creature in this comic was more effective than any horror movie.\u00c2\u00a0 This is the (if there is any justice in this world fictional) story of a gigantic tick, how it is discovered and how it meets its maker.\u00c2\u00a0 There is a man who had a traumatic experience with a tick as a young boy, and he nurtures that hatred until he is able to get a job as a tick inspector.\u00c2\u00a0 Upon arriving in the park he sees a queen tick (again, I can only hope there is no such thing in real life), and it has sucked the life right out of a small, hairless dog.\u00c2\u00a0 This tick inspector manages to capture it and puts it in a box to the Guinness record committee, but he uses some unfortunate word choices on the box, and well, that title is an appropriate description for more than just ticks.\u00c2\u00a0 This also has a handy chart of the tick life cycle, and some subtle (if pointed) commentary on tv news anchors.\u00c2\u00a0 Like I said, as long as you’re not scarred for life from some childhood tick trauma, this is a pretty great story and you should probably check it out.<\/p>\n
