The Tick is sent to Antwerp, Belgium on a superhero exchange program to sip flavored coffees, dance until dawn and... oh, yeah... contend with Octopaganini and the Eastern Bloc Robot Cowboy while his Belgian counterpart Eclair helps Arthur deal with the Breadmaster.

The Tick and Arthur travel back in time over 3 million years, join a tribe of Australopithecines and work in a restaurant for time travelers from the distant, distant future.
