Columbo - Blog Posts

oh my god i love watching columbo with my mom

for as much as i (and seemingly most people) love columbo, i even more so love stumbling upon the exceedingly rare specimen driven to madness with hatred for a tacky, pube-headed mussolini

Mike Farrell had the perfect mustache to be a Columbo villian. It's a damn shame the stars never aligned. :(

Alrighty, it's been about a year since I've joined Tumblr and half of that year has been with this blog, so I guess I'll make an "introduction" post.

Hi! I'm Lizardwoman (or Becca if you're really brave) and I like things.

Film and TV history (I'm a film major in college and I'm really digging learning about the history of everything)

Discworld and all things Pratchett

Columbo

The Mysterious Benedict Society

Series of Unfortunate Events

Jeffrey Combs

Doctor Who

And about a billion things more. If somethings not listed, that doesn't mean I'm not a fan it just means I have a really sucky memory.

One of my New Year's resolutions is to interact in some fandoms more and overall just put myself out there and be more confident. (This will most likely include poorly drawn fanart, so this is your one and only warning.)

Overall though, all of my social media's are dedicated to messing with friends. This means if you see me bickering with two art blogs, don't fret.

Okay thanks 😘

Step 1: Open Tumblr

Step 2: Look up Columbo tags

Step 3: See AI generated tits

Step 4: close Tumblr and contemplate your decisions.

The more I watch Columbo, the more I'm convinced that he's a supernatural being and that the Columbo Dimension is a fate far worse than Hell.

If Starsky and Hutch, which ran from 1975 to 1979, can have an episode dedicated to gay night clubs in California and depict them fairly accurately and have a somewhat progressive view of same sex romance for that time, then I better see something like that as I'm working my way through Columbo.

I know by the time of Murder, She Wrote there were a lot more censors around certain topics so it couldn't be approached nearly as bluntly, but that gives us all of Columbo's first run from 1971 to 1978 to do something.

Pretty please?

Bold take:

As an avid watcher of Columbo, I think if I were sucked into the show and killed someone I would get away with it.

I have the advantage on all of the other killers because I know Columbo. I know how he thinks, and I won't let him drive me crazy like he does everyone else.

Life would be so much more simple if we could all just stay home and watch Columbo.

Similarities between Columbo and Vimes:

Always finds the criminal(s)

Absolutely love and worship their wives

Cigar addicts

Always investigating/mingling with the rich, but doesn't fit in with that crowd.

Later has other, younger detectives following them around and introducing new ideas and techniques.

Short little guys.

Not to mention that Pratchett wrote something along the lines of "Being investigated by Vimes was like being nibbled to death by a duck." (I couldn't find the exact quote, but I know it exists somewhere.)

Which is a play on Peter Falk's quote about Columbo:

"Being chased by Columbo is like being nibbled to death by a duck."

This was fun. Thanks for bringing it up!

Vimes and Columbo have so much in common it's crazy. (They're both coppers and are completely devoted & worship their wives)

me when i literally did exactly that

can he sit on your dash for a minute?? he'll be very polite :]

Hey look, it's evil columbo...I mean William Afton

Anyways, I finished up that one william afton drawing I posted here, alongside a drawing of the yellow rabbit. I'm honestly pretty proud of the linework here. Admittedly the yellow rabbits head was a pain to draw, mostly cause I wanted it to reasonably look like it could fit on williams head, but I think it worked out in the end.

Hope you enjoy the drawing, feel free to leave any nice comments or critiques you have. Have a good day.

I bet he keeps hard-boiled eggs in his pockets

the best parts of columbo are the bits in each episode where the villains like 5 seconds from snapping at columbo, but they can’t without being suspicious so they just make This Face

I love Columbo because there’s all these rich white guys who are like “I’m better and smarter and more special than everyone, I deserve to do a free murder! And get away with it too!” So they do some murder, and then this guy shows up

And he looks like a pile of dirty laundry, and he wanders in off the street holding the saddest cup of coffee you’ve ever seen and goes “Hey, sorry to bother you, but I knew it was you who did the murder by shaking your hand. What a lovely home by the way, unbelievable, absolutely gorgeous. Oh and sorry, but I did also trick you into hand delivering damning evidence to me, hope you understand :/ Got a light by the way? Anyone got a light around here, a match er something?”

And then he runs off because his car is getting towed or whatever. It’s great, I fucking love it, and I’d happily watch 10000 episodes of this exact formula :)

inspired by @deadpanwalking from a previous columbo in space:

“Back in the day my father knew a space ship captain, real good with the ladies. He used to say, “that Captain Kirk, he was as smooth as a Klingon forehead.” Well, I always thought that was odd, ya know?”

Beige coat...

does anyone remember the columbo episod where he babysits his nephew and his friends

Tintin Meets The Detectives

“Well Mr. Columbo—”

“Actually, it’s Lieutenant Columbo.”

“You’re Starfleet?”

“Star who now?”

(thanks for the caption @brookbee!)

"Tribbles, my wife loves em, can’t get enough of them, but one thing I noticed is that they just can’t stand Klingons. Those tribbles didn’t take a liking to you at all, did they?"

(sequel to Columbo in Space part 1)

my friend just showed me this account through the Columbo Star Trek posts and they’re SUPER funny and I’m so sorry if you did this already but I noticed how Columbo sometimes likes to crack boiled eggs on cars and things at crime scenes and I was wondering if you’d be able to make one with Columbo cracking an egg on an Enterprise dashboard?

oh he would totally do that

Hell yeah Columbo is gonna be in Mario Kart World
