Hi TL Kojak Fans!

Kojak was a popular US television series, starring Telly Savalas as the eponymous New York City Police Department Detective, Lieutenant Theo Kojak, which aired from October 24th 1973 to March 18th 1978 on CBS. I used to love this show when I was little!n(^_^)

Now, this is the modern day version of Lt.Theo Kojak, with hair! The only thing common which the producers kept is the famous “Chupa Chups!”

So, "Who loves ya, baby?"

Constantinos
ps. No disrespect to Telly Savalas or family indented.

Yep, I recall that show. Tomorrow you'll show us a cacatoo and speak of "Baretta" I reckon? LOL.
All that sugar is bad for his teeth. I hope he brushes well...
Beautiful capture, razor sharp at 400 mm! Canon sure has some nice glass in its range...
You might have cloned out the bright spot above its nose, but I just say that because I can't find anything else to nit-pick about, Κώστα ;o).

Bonjour Constantinos,

I ate of them chupas when Kojak passed to French television, my preferred, with the perfume strawberry-cream. Amusing POV, it's seen that this small monkey puts a great conscience to eat its lollipop.
Good natural lighting and colors. Thanks.

Heartily, Corinne.



For the small history : Telly Savalas was born as Aristotelis Savalas to Greek American parents and her brother George Demosthenes Savalas playing on the TV Serie Kojak also, for his role as Detective Stavros.

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Cataract Walk II’...in the last couple of weeks I have done the ZigZag again and the same day back to town via the Cataract Walk, plus another three walks to through the Gorge and back. Struck it lucky today, finally some water rushing through the place.

Hi Constantinos

Hope you weren't directly affected by the recent fires in Greece. A humorous title & the monkey does appear to be singing into a mike at 1st glance. Perfect dof & sharpness. Tfs!

great portrait....very sweet!!!!.........

Hello Constantinos,

An interesting pose has been capured in this image. The expression of the monkey is interesting. His fur coat is looking great. Nice shot my friend, well done.

Thanks for sharing this image.

Haha

This is so funny.
Nice shot!

Very comical shot - great contact and focus on the eyes and a superb expression. Although I'm pretty certain that Mr Savalas has considerably less hair ;-)
Thanks for sharing
Mark

Hello Constantinos,

Hi Constatinos,
