* The Tick's simple minded optimism stands out all the better against the darker interpretation of The City.
* Tick befriending various people around Arthur, from the shopkeeper's mother, to Arthur's stepdad, to a homeless man he just met on the street. He even reacts with genuine admiration upon seeing ''Tinfoil Kevin'' making his own hat.
