DADAMAN pt.8
A couple of years ago I went out with a girl who insisted we go see Mama Mia! in the theater. Being a good sport (and thinking I would ‘earn points’) I went along and quietly SUFFERED FOR TWO HOURS WATCHING ONE OF THE MOST IRRITATING FILMS I HAVE EVER SEEN (even worse than that girl who forced me to watch the Nicole Kidman trainwreck Moulin Rouge…why can’t more women enjoy subtle, nuanced cinema like Robot Monster or The Devil’s Rejects?).
Next week begins a story for all of you lovers of classic cinema, as I take a time-honored gem of the silent screen and completely ruin it. See you next Sunday!
NEXT WEEK:
THE CUPBOARD OF DR. CALIBANI
That was great! I would love to have her “re-educate” Hank in a crossover one day. I think she could straighten him out.
“Mama Mia” is a great tool. My wife used it on me the other week to teach me how to toe the line.
Man – Dr. J is one woman who knows how to get things done!
I’ve not seen Mama Mia, but the trailer was about enough to make my stomach turn (I won’t be committing any crimes on the good Dr.s watch – that’s for sure)! 🙂
Hahaha, that was one of your best yet! Mama Mia, lol!
@George Feel free to borrow her if you’d like! Just remember to send the folks my way when you’re done with her (why do I suddenly feel wrong about ‘loaning’ her out?)
@SpilledInky Glad you enjoy the Good Doctor. And please do avoid Mama Mia at all costs. I’m looking out for my readers.
@Brogan Thanks, man! The Mama Mia warning applies to you as well.
The play is waaaay better!! You can excuse yourself to pee and later explain the line was really-REALLY long!!
@jynksie You know…you’re SO right! I could have just excused myself, got up and hung out in the lobby instead of watching that movie! Stupid, stupid, stupid!
The funny thing is that my wife wanted to watch Mamma Mia so badly we rented it, and even she admitted it was pretty lousy.
@David There you go! ‘Mama Mia’ shouldn’t have to be the great divide between the genders…we already have the Three Stooges for that!
WOOBWOOBWOOBWOOB!
Yeah… I had a girlfriend back in the 1980’s that coerced me into going to an “Erasure” concert… that’s a few hours of my life I’ll never get back (or be able to scour from my memory of the vocalist running onto the stage in a black tutu…)
With enough expensive therapy and delicious meds, Jerry, the wounds will heal. God be with you.
Incidentally, that vocalist sounds a bit like Dadaman here…
Hm, with the previous references to “Silence of the Lambs” and “Psycho” I was expecting a “Clockwork Orange” brainwash after reading the first few panels…
…*starts to hum “Freude schoner Gotterfunken”*
@UnReal “IT’S A SIN! IT’S A SIN! USING LOVELY, LOVELY LUDWIG VAN LIKE THAT!”
It’s been parodied so many times that I actually refrained from doing a poster lampoon with Scapula in Alex’s place (because ten million other cartoonists and entertainers have done it already). But hey, that doesn’t mean we can’t all just sit down and enjoy the movie, right right?
Oh god, there is no god.
@Stig Who knows what theological implications are being made here…perhaps Dadaman is the Patron Saint of Morons, meant to bring bliss through idiocy? Sort of an Archangel of Loonies? It could happen!
Can I get that last panel on a tshirt? Or just Dadaman on a tshirt? He is a work of genius. I dig the chaos. Highly.
Changed my mind. I want it as a wallpaper. Text and all. Gotta stay up all night for a thingy so I’m burning my way through the WHOLE FREAKIN SERIES MAN! WOOOO!
@InfamousNefarious Hell yes! Burn through this whole series like a perv through a pile of fat chick photos (since you’d probably enjoy that). By the time you’re all caught up, you’ll be happy to know there’s a new Dadaman story going on! Loobity-boop-de-boop-de-booo!
I would. I did. And I am. And that last panel just speaks to me. In fact I’m pretty sure that if I look close enough I’ll find me in that crowd somewhere. ~double checks~
“Mamma Mia” – the movie was a travesty. “Mamma Mia” – the stage play, was hysterical!
@DCS I’ll just have to take your word for it. To this day I’m still too scared to go near anything even remotely ‘Mamma Mia’ related.
