Introducing: Columbo Parody Dog Head Greeting Cards!

(For background on how these cards came to be, please check out How the Columbo Dog Head Greeting Cards Came to Be)
 


This is the culmination of my life's work - it combines an obsession with dogs, putting heads on things, WTF Wednesday, vintage 70s clothes and decor, comedy, art, and true crime/Columbo. 

There are 12 cards total in this series - presented 4 at a time, in chronological order.  All cards are 5x7 inches, flat (not folded), printed in the USA on 100% recycled paper, and come with a matching envelope. 
 
They are all, as we say, Suitable for Framing!
 
The first four cards are available with tracking from skippyhaha Etsy now!
 

 
First we have a scene inspired by "Blueprint for Murder" (1972) - featuring a Golden Retriever in a rose gold pussy bow blouse telling a Black Labrador Retriever that we could've used him at the Alamo - he's got guts. 
 

 
This would be great to send someone who is graduating or taking a new job or making a move.
 
 
Next we have a painting inspired by a scene in "Short Fuse" (1972) where a punky Yellow Labrador Retriever sprays silly string all over office dogs - a Pug in a business suit and a Golden Retriever secretary in a pink dress. The Yellow lab is yelling "Workers arise!" 
 
 

 
This would be great to send someone on Labor Day, or if they are unionizing their workplace.


The third card introduced this week is a scene inspired by "Etude in Black" (1972). This features a light Yellow Labrador holding a baton and wearing a turtleneck while extending his hand to a darker Yellow Labrador wearing a trench coat. The light Yellow Lab says "Goodbye, genius." 
 

 
This is perfect for someone who is retiring, graduating, or moving away. Also could be used in a pinch for a sympathy card. 

The final card introduced this week depicts a scene inspired by the "Any Old Port in a Storm" (1973) patio party. It features Yellow Labrador retrievers, a Black Labrador retriever, a Cairn Terrier, a Pug, and a Golden retriever. The dogs are dancing and chatting around an oceanfront 70s California patio table while there's "music playing on stereo." 
 


This one is great for anyone who loves music, dogs, California, the 70s, or Columbo.

Also - IF YOU WOULD LIKE A CARD WITH PAINTINGS WITH THE HUMAN HEADS, sent anywhere in the world via USPS with a forever letter stamp with NO TRACKING, I had a tiny run of those printed - please message or email me
 

 
See you here next week to introduce the next four Columbo Parody Dog Head cards in the series!

Season 5, Episode 6, Columbo - Last Salute to the Commodore (1976)

 Season 5, Episode 6, Columbo - Last Salute to the Commodore (1976)     This episode was directed by Patrick McGoohan, and written by Jackson Gillis, Richard Levinson, and William Link.   Some people really do not like this episode but it's one of our very favorites. The best way to view this episode is as if everyone involved from writing to directing to every actor and extra - is high on hallucinogenic drugs at almost all times. Some of them are really tripping. Maybe it's just alcohol, but it seems like they're tripping on mushrooms. Columbo invades the personal space of every person he comes across, sometimes several times. It's a psychedelic journey of hilarity. It is the episode from whence the banner photo of this very blog sprang: 1) And this is the best outfit in this episode. Lisa King, naval architect, bedecked in denim flare jeans and a space dye turtleneck sweater with an equestrian ranch landscape motif. It's trippy. And Columbo is tripping.   We will

Season 1 Episode 6:  "Columbo" Short Fuse (TV Episode 1972) This episode was directed by Edward Abroms, and written by Jackson Gillis, Lester Pine and Tina Pine.     The three best outfits from this episode are:  1) Roger Stanford, genius fop murderer, in a blue paisley puffy shirt, skin-tight velour western flares, gold science society medallion:      He later completes the look with a teal suede cafe racer jacket with covered buttons:      2) Every secretary at Stanford Chemical is dressed in a very fun outfit, it’s hard to pick one, but we will go with Nancy in an orange belted mini-dress with contrast gold turtleneck and gold flare sleeve cuffs with t-strap leather heels:       Her silver circle belt buckle and silver circle shoulder pin put this over the top     3) Mrs. Buckner’s shiny silver patterned gown that she wore to the Opera board meeting:       This has layers, something like a cape dress over a long skirt:     She accessorizes with big turquoise, white gold an
