Really rockin’ that tailed coat in Panel 3, isn’t he?
Also, I thought you said THREE days! This is only two! It doesn’t make…any…sense…
…Ohhh, I see what you did there!
The classic fifties housewife: big on nagging, hair, and bosoms, low on sense, IQ, and ability to listen. Not what I call primo dating material. Even Dadaman has sense enough to avoid this one!
You know, it’s occurred to me, looking back at the first appearance of Dadaman, that he (or it) started out looking far more sinister. I think the mask might’ve had something to do with that, though. That and its drawing was generally consistent. When he returned in “Dada Dodo Doodah”, its mouth usually seemed to be flying off its face.
I guess there was also the fact it went from being a sort of hurricane of chaos “glue comics on a guy! ice cream yay!!”
It also may be that this is just the black and white comics, but he seems to be simplified in each appearance, mostly with the newspaper coat. I guess his speech was actually made more complex in her second appearance though.
And that’s my dissection of Dadaman’s evolution on Scapula, I guess??
The changes in Dadaman can all be chalked to the fact that I’m a lazy cartoonist and have stopped caring about the work. If I can slap together a couple of scribbles of Dadaman and ship them off to the production team in Korea (that’s how most webcomics are done these days), then come home to eleven martinis and a callgirl then I can call it a good day’s work. That’s right, folks: ALL cartoonists are corrupted!
…and for an even stranger look at Dadaman, look no further than his original comic series DADA HYENA.
Yes the Dada Hyena version is preeeeeeeetty messed up, but the situations he gets into in this comic (which is a little more grounded in reality) tend to be a bit more….. bizarre.
Did you say test AUDIENCE? Oh, I thought those were test SUBJECTS. My bad. I guess the mind-melt-o-tron I got for Saint Saintless’ day was supposed to be used in the studio across the way! My bad!
It’s part 2 of 3 … but “the end”? What, trying to see if we’re paying attention when Scap’s not around? 😛
Nope, it’s the end of this story. Tomorrow will be the rebuttal.
But, that was only two – ! And I – ! But, it – ! And, Dadaman…
GAAAAHHHHH! DADAMANNNNN!
HAW HAW!
Life is cruel, isn’t it, kiddies?
I love it! All of it!
Great to hear! Anything with puppies deserves love.
dada-man…speaking sense into people!?!?!
It only happens when Dadaman meets someone crazier or more annoying than himself. And today it happened.
….scary, ain’t it?

Nope, three days! I’m messing with everyone.
Guess you’ll all have to come back tomorrow, hmmmmmmm?

If only she had been smoking while pregnant and driving a car into a lamppost the stereotype would have been complete!
Doggonit, Dada Man!
Dadgonit, Dog Man!

I actually did look at that for a further comparison. His appearance there probably matches that in Dada Dodo Doodah closest.
Did I miss Part ¥?
It got cancelled due to poor ratings with test audiences. The mindless fools!

Sad now. 🙁
