Tuun-La not of this World is an extraterrestrial being from The Tick Comics created by Ben Edlund and published by New England Comics Press.

Tuun-La believes that all earthling races are inferior and will eventually be destroyed by him. Until then he is content to be a part of The Terror's supervillain team, the Evileers.

In "The Tick Big Yule Log Special" 2000, Tuun-La is invited by The Tick to stay at his and Arthur's apartment for the holidays as the rest of the Evileers have gone home for the holidays. There, Tuun-La learns the true meaning of earthling Christmas. In "The Tick Big Yule Log Christmas" 2001, Tuun-La is attacked, along with the rest of the Evileers, by the Man-Eating Cow, and, while it is not shown, presumably escape. In The Tick Big Xmas Trilogy (December 2002), he plays Bob Cratchit in the Tick's Christmas pageant.

Appearances in other media

The Tick Animated Series

Tuun-La, Not of this Earth appears in "The Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account" (season 1) as a part of The Terror's supervillain team, The Legion of Terror. In the cartoon, Tuun-La is female. While being attacked by the Tick, Joseph Stalin (not actually Joseph Stalin, but Stalin Grad, a grad student in Russian studies who emulates Stalin), declares his love for Tuun-La and they flee the battle and the Earth, much to The Terror's chagrin. Tuun-La is voiced by Pat Musick.
