Cereal with a Fork 
So I was reading the Wikipedia page for Matlock, and here is a pretty funny excerpt:
“Matlock is noted for his thrift and a fondness for hot dogs. After the series ended, his penchant for hot dogs was explained in the 1997 episode “Murder Two” of Joyce Burditt’s Diagnosis: Murder. Matlock blames Dr. Mark Sloan (Dick Van Dyke) for recommending a disastrous investment in 8-track cartridges, in which he lost his savings of $5,000, while he survived by wearing cheap suits and living on hot dogs.”
Cheap suits and hot dogs. Comedy gold!
And for a further trip down memory lane, here’s the theme song with a nasty horn part:
Oh god, I could see myself becoming that guy in the comic. “Hey, have you heard that theme song from Matlock? Have you!? It’s awesome!”
I don’t even know what matlock is …!
That’s okay! I think this just confirms the “How Not to Start a Conversation” tip.
I have no clue what Matlock is too.. :s
I know that this is with no doubt a shot in dark but I love how the title frames up the whole picture. So I was just wondering if you can put this completely ‘fictional’ scenario of “my” friend’s quite unpleasant conversation with a girl he’s never seen before (Let’s just say he said these words: “Your face is shaped like a mango..” in attempt to be funny) into a cynical portrait like this. It was their very premiere conversation via Skype. Extremely awkward but downright hilarious.. 😀
Appreciate it.
Fear not, there will be other mangos. But I think you’re on your own with the cartoon. Good luck!
Oh well, it was worth a swing. (But if you ever change you’re mind..)
😉
Hope to see more of your whiz-bang works.
Actually, being a lawyer yourself helps a lot with the girls. 🙂
Unfortunately, I quit my lawyer job two years ago to become a student again. 😦
“The Practice” is a much better – and more realistic – lawyer show than “Matlock”.
I love Matlock. I guess this means I’ll never have to bother decorating my home… seeings as it’s just gonna be me and all.
Obviously you don’t start with Matlock. That’s third or fourth date material.
The opener should be Star Trek episodes.
Sheesh. I though everyone knew that…
Haha. Damn, I should’ve known better…
You mean “that guy” that everyone THOUGHT committed the murder – BUT HE DIDN’T??
THAT case??
No way! You’ve seen that episode too!?
I am a woman, and I actually like Matlock! I guess I must be the only one…Any other women out there like Matlock??? They used to show Matlock episode reruns on late-night TV here, and that’s how I got to know the show and found that I liked it. It is a good show, in its own way.
Great cartoon, by the way! 🙂
I think your comic is very funny, but you should know that talking about Matlock is a great way to meet women. My cousin did it once, and now he’s married. Not to that women he said the Matlock line to, but still, you get the picture.
19 year old girl here who just killed herself laughing, because yes, I HAVE seen that episode! 😉 And then sent this to her brother because nobody else would understand it…how lame is that? So funny.
