It takes place in a world in whch superheroes are common.  The Tick, a huge
blue guy with a brain the size of a walnut, hangs out with Batmanuel and a
cheesecakey Miss Liberty (or somesuch) and has a sidekick named The Moth who
has no superpowers at all, just a wimpy costume and the *desire* to be a
superhero.  It's what you might call a Gentle Spoof, but it *was* fun.
Naturally it was cancelled.  (It was based on a
small/independantly-published comic book.)
