Before that show, I didn’t even know there was any vice in Cleveland…
well, except for maybe Cleo Clifford dynamiting a few squirrels, or a couple of Grandmas making their mahjong games more interesting by betting a handful of quarters.
Cleveland was Grandmas… and 5pm casserole dinners, and 7pm movie dates, home by 9:30 or Daddy wants to know why.
…
Illicit kibble manufacture, sales to minor pups… trafficking out-dated flea collars… lady dogs forced into harnesses and sold on the street….
Who woulda thunk it?
Stylish dog clothing and hip music?
in CLEVELAND??? I would have said you were crazy.
Just shows you whatI knew.
…
I didn’t watch the show all the time, mostly cos I was working late, and not seeing a lot of TV…
I remember more about what I would call the side effects of it than the actual program…
Suddenly, all the most fashionable bassets, and later, imitation chic copydog humans, were wearing white jackets….
something we had associated around here with sleazy Florida types.
But even now, a white belt and white shoes is called a “full Cleveland.” Um… I think that’s related.
…
And sunglasses, too. Whoever had seen so many bassets in dark sunglasses?
Or wearing t-shirts under their suit jackets, instead of white shirts and ties… in colors like lavender and turquoise.
Here in the Northern CA land of bearded men in Pendleton shirts, and socks with Teva hiking sandals… (Be quiet! Who asked you?)
…. we suddenly saw bare feet in boat shoes.
…
The music, too, was everywhere… a different sound from either the punkish rock n’ roll I listened to, or the 80’s hair bands in the clubs…
The cool sound of urban Saturday nights…
where hip bassets with two-day stubble picked up their dates in fancy sports cars.
Thanks, Susan! What great memories the 80’s bring….. Back in the day, the bassets were the coolest! (along with Cleveland, which was wayy cooler than Miami, both in the hip urban mood and the temperature!)
The dog is saying “I found him down at the pond. Can I keep him?”
The duck is saying, at first, “Hey! This thing neither looks like a duck, walks like a duck, nor quacks like a duck. Why am I here?”
Then the duck is saying “On the other hand, he did chase away those cats. That was pretty cool. I did not like the way they were looking at me and licking their lips.”
I never watched the show either. I mean, I lived in California and show was way over there ~ almost a foreign country. But, I love, love, love the poster!
to ML and PC: I really thought that most people would have at least heard of Miami Vice, but then again, what do I know? The important thing is that you both liked it, and that means the most to me! Thanks, ladies!!!!!

Just a great poster from Stel Bel. And it’s new, you say?! Yahoo!
I did see a few episodes of the human version. It was utterly preposterous. The theme music, written by jazz pianist Jan Hammer, became a hit of its own accord. For a time, Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas were the epitome of coolth. But the show never made a lick of sense.
Well, it made sense, but not the best sense. I remember one critic at the time described it as a prime-time, hour-long MTV music video (and, I still enjoy the music!). Yet, I thought it was entertaining and made sure to record it on the VCR every week. That, of course, was back in my younger days……!!!
[human version]
in regards to today’s poster art—
BRAVO!
Thanks, Boss!!

Well done, Stel!! Great promotion for this basset crime fighting team.!
Tell the truth, is there really a Clevelander in South Beach?
Indeed there is a hotel named the Clevelander, right in the heart of the Art Deco district!

And, thanks so much for your kind words!!
Whoa… Cleveland Vice.

It all felt a bit out of my league.

sloppy joes
Wow! I haven’t had a sloppy joe in a few decades!!
oatmeal lace cookies

Super cute!
The dog is saying “I found him down at the pond. Can I keep him?”

Awww…..
I love how the pooch moved nary a muscle while the other little guy acted the spokesduck for both of them!!
Aakatya Minkina
another
I like both of those!
I’m with Perkycat! Beautiful paintings!!
Woo hoo a brandy new poster from our Stel-lar artist.
TGIF poster phanatics. Sonny and Ricardo ride through Cleveland and chase the bad guys on Lake Erie in a cigarette boat.
I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a lot of awkward moments eating sloppy joes.
(((((HuGz!)))))
Brandy (new) sounds good…..I’ll have some! Oh. You didn’t mean a libation, did you?
……A W K W A R D !
(Thanks for the kind words, Plods!)
having never seen this TV series, i’m in the dark as to all the excitement.
HOWEVER, your poster is absolutely fantastic, Stel!!!! i think it’s much better than the human version!
I never watched the show either. I mean, I lived in California and show was way over there ~ almost a foreign country. But, I love, love, love the poster!
us, too.
