He was originally\ncalled Pigleg, for the good and sufficient reason that one of his legs\nterminated in a pig, rather than a foot, but he wanted an image change. As\nthe Deadly Bulb, one of his gimmicks was *blinding* flashes of light.\n\nAnd of course, you all remember the name of the catacrest Silk is offered\nbefore he buys Oreb in _Nightside the Long Sun_: Tick!\n\n\"My mind is a scary place\"\n     -The Tick (from \"The Tick vs. the Protoclown\")\n\nWilliam Ansley\n\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
