“what??”

“do you have any idea why I keep leaving and coming back, and why I have so many questions?”

the episode of Sesame Street I’ve been wanting to see for months (episode 3100) was finally uploaded to YouTube a couple days ago!! so I IMMEDIATELY started on fanart of course

There has been two different instances where Muppets have done parodies of Lt. Columbo. In one instance, Fozzie Bear dressed up as the witty detective for the September cover of an appointment calendar. Also, on Sesame Street, lamb detective Colambo shared attire, mannerisms, and rank with the casual detective.

you seen this guy??? you seen colambo before??

yes! i love him and think we were blessed for getting to inhabit a timeline where there exists an official columbo muppet who's a literal wolf in sheep's clothing. for the uninitiated:

This is Colambo, who solves nursery rhyme mysteries, asks "just one more question" and talks about his never-seen wife
