Round Two: 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)
 

 
Last week we introduced the First Four - let's keep it rolling! 
 

 
1) This week we start off with a scene inspired by "Double Exposure" (1973). This features a light Yellow Labrador Retriever dog wearing a yellow leather moto jacket, adjusting a surveillance camera in a supermarket by a sign that says "Lower prices for finer meats."

The darker Yellow Labrador Retriever next to him says he doesn't know how the hell he does it. 



This would be a great card for someone who got a new job, or graduated, or achieved something remarkable.

2) Next we have two cards inspired by scenes in the Johnny Cash episode, "Swan Song" (1974). First we have a Cairn Terrier, in all black, parachuting. 


No sign of his thermos. This would be a great card for someone who likes to skydive, or someone who is retiring or going off grid. 
 
 

3) Next we have a painting of a scene where a Black Labrador Retriever is walking through an airport gate and the Black Lab says "Tell your wife hello for me." 



This is a great card to send someone who has a wife that you like.
 
 
 
4) Finally the fourth card we are introducing this week features a scene inspired by "Forgotten Lady" (1975). A Black Labrador Retriever is dangling from a tree, and tells his Basset Hound friend underneath that he's gonna drop. 
 

This is a great card for someone who wants to let friends know they're descending into madness, or about to release some music.

How the Columbo Parody Dog Head Greeting Cards Came to Be

How the Columbo Parody Dog Head Greeting Cards Came to Be:    It was around New Years 2024 when Kevin said I needed a hobby besides the pandemic. I said, "no I do not."    He said, "yes you do."  I said "okay, I will paint." He kindly got an art kit and set up a small easel in a room downstairs.    Mostly as a way to flip off AI art I started painting with acrylics.   I painted my "pandemic friends."    I painted some psychedelic stars that have been in my head since 1988.       For a big challenge, I moved onto trying to paint some favorite Columbo scenes.  The first one turned out okay.      I thought I could share these paintings in greeting card form with other Columbo fans.  I ordered 10 cards as a test from the most eco-friendly card maker I could find in the USA, and as they were being made, I painted 11 more of my favorite scenes.    For example, John Cassavetes playing the Maest...

  Pilot 2, Columbo - Ransom for a Dead Man (1971)     This is the second Columbo pilot movie to feature Peter Falk, and was directed by Richard Irving. It was written by Dean Hargrove, Richard Levinson, and William Link.    This is the last episode we are going to document, here we go! The three best outfits in this episode are:  1. Leslie Williams's pilot outfit:  Mrs. Williams is wearing a floral silk scarf on her head and amber aviator shades.  Her long white coat is lined in bright red silk, and her pants and shoes are all white. She's like the Red Baron, but the White Baron.  2. Nancy the secretary's gray and white citrus wedge skirt with a necktie:  She's wearing an a-line miniskirt with the cutest print that resembles lemon slices, but in gray.  Her matching blouse and wide white tie bring it all together.    3. Leslie's lady lawyer sweater-dress with a cape outfit: This is a maroon and beige textured knit, likely w...
