    ‘Just one more thing…’ I loved that show.

      ha…at first I thought your previous comment didn’t come through…then I got it.

    Loved him, especially as Columbo – he proved that appearances really are deceiving.

    He looked like a loser and acted like he was stumbling around in the dark but you know he was going to emerge the winner in the end. Great family entertainment and great actor

    P.S. the buggers wearing my raincoat !!!

      Really, I kind of thought of you as a Burberry man myself.

    Good caricature. I didn’t watch “Columbo” much (if at all), but I did appreciate some of the movies I saw him do.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I remember watching repeats of it with my dad and some of the made for tv movies.

    Excellent likeness Bearman. I used to love Columbo. I haven’t seen it on TV since I was a teenager.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Really…I thought you were older than that..haha j/k

    Yes, you’ve nailed him

      Thanks M. Glad I got to do a post of something you were familiar with finally.

    good one – His show had me wanting to wear trench coat.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      As long as you wanted to wear something under that trench.

    Good likeness! I used to really like Columbo. It was very well wrtten, and Peter Falk played the roll so well. Fit him like an old raincoat.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think he was typecast.

    I hope you had as much fun drawing Peter Falk as I did. Good character to draw.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      You need to link us all to your pic.

    Aw, poor Columbo

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yes indeed.

    Never was much of a Colombo fan but he was a great actor

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Bet you loved the Princess Bride though..

      1. Rent Textbooks Avatar

        who doesn’t love The Princess Bride.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          I know some who are over-obsessed with it.

          1. George Avatar

            The Princess Bride of Frankensein? I don’t believe I’ve seen that one yet.

          2. Bearman Avatar

            or of FrankensTein.

    I never saw Columbo. I could never figure out when it was on. I guess I wouldn’t have made a very good detective.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Probably around Kojak…who loves ya baby?

    Peter Falk was one of the good ones. All the old actors (about my age and an little older) seem to be dying off.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Everyone your age and a little older seems to be dying off. You just have good genes.

      1. Bo Lumpkin Avatar

        I worry that my “genes” might be gettin’ a little threadbare.

        1. Binky Avatar

          Age tends to get us all, hopefully later than sooner.

          1. Bearman Avatar

            I recently had a birthday and told my wife it was the best one ever. She asked why. I said every new one is the best one ever.

    I hadn’t heard about the passing of Falk. Thanks for letting me know. And that is one amazing caricature of him, by the way. Just curious, how long did tit take for tyou to complete this design? It looks intricate.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Intricate how??? Probably about 2 hours.

      1. George Avatar

        Man, you’ve got shading, highlights, and all sorts of coloring wizardry going on. Plus I like the thickness of your ink line. You’ve been progressing without even noticing, haven’t you?

        1. Bearman Avatar

          3 layers.

          Top Layer Ink
          Middle Layer set the layer to soft and use black and white for highlighting
          Bottom Layer – Color.

          I am sure most cartoonists do more than I for shading but it works with my limited schedule.

    I loved this guy. One of my fav movies was the In Laws …

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Don’t think I ever saw that one.

  17. Enkätverkty Avatar

    Excellent Peter Falk Cartoon here.I like it.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks E. Not my best but others see some resemblance.

  18. Scholar Mel Avatar

    Grandpa from Princess Bride correct? I was going to do a little post about Princess Bride the day he died which would have been coincidence. The reason I didn’t is because I could upload a picture I wanted to use because of my “high” speed internet acting slowly.

    This one is Columbo right?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yes…well an attempt at Columbo.

      1. Binky Avatar

        I was able to deduce that by myself. It was probably the raincoat. And the cigar. And the pose.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          You are smarter than the average wombat

  19. Comedy Plus Avatar

    Wow, this is awesome. You are very talented.

    I just loved this guy.

    Have a terrific day. 🙂

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Thanks Sandee….need to keep you around just for my ego.

    Fantastic…well done.

    It’s sad when the guy who could have solved off is killed off in the screenplay of life. 🙁 R.I.P. Mr Falk.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      “solved off”????

      1. Ahmnodt Heare Avatar

        I meant solve the crimes.

        1. Bearman Avatar

          That makes more sense..haha

  22. Frank M Hansen Avatar

    Nice tribute piece. He will be missed. I’m noticing more and more people reflecting on the positive characteristics of the character Colombo that only he could play.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      No Columbo = No Monk

  23. SpilledInkGuy Avatar

    Aw, man!
    I hadn’t heard about this yet… sometimes it’s nice to live under a rock.
    Great tribute, Bearman… love that little trademark squint…
    🙂

      I am better than CNN for the latest news.

    RIP, Peter Falk. You and Colombo will be missed.

    “A caricature can refer to a portrait that exaggerates or distorts the essence of a person or thing to create an easily identifiable visual likeness.”

    I don’t think that can apply to Peter Falk as Columbo for some reason.
    A very nice portrait indeed.

  26. Mark Stokes Avatar

    Love the rumpled, scratchy line work. You really caught him! Great job!

    I like the fact that Lt.Peter Falk’s Columbo never carried a gun. Actually, he would be a great role model for an aspiring investigative reporter.
