I remember private eye, PI, and private investigator being used interchangeably. As for private eye detective, is this and eye detective who works in the private sector?

P.I. is the acronym of Private Investigator. Private “eye” is a play on words of the “i” in “investigator” and the fact that this person acts as an eye for the client.

No time to make an entry. The idea I had would either take forever to model or be nearly all stuff I didn’t make.

Idea: Film Noir style based on this (link). Paige gets a fedora hat and old fashioned hair style. She looks through window blinds into a rainy nighttime urban street. There a shadowy figure looks back. Which one is the PI? Or are PI’s watching each other? Title: Private Eyes

Also could be a detective looking into the shady activities of a private eye I suppose… leave it to interpretation.
Agree many of the inspiration scenes would be a lot of time to realize. I saw one I wish I thought to do, but it would be too much time inside on a sunny weekend!

"The Baker News "
This morning at ‘Dunkin’ Donuts Inn’ a donut was found drowned in a plate of milk. Police chief Spencer Tilby says: “The victim identified as ‘Less Fat’ was forcefully pressed under milk to death with a spoon.” The police don’t think this is an victim from the ‘Breakfast Killer’ cause the murder has taken no bite of the victim. Normally the ‘Breakfast Killer’ chooses only donuts with a filling. But the autopsy will tell more. PI ‘Donut Mess’ a long friend of ‘Less Fat’ has stated he will make his own investigations to revenge the dead of his friend.

Wait until we see the other side of ‘Less Fat’. So far, I am not convinced!
I think, Donut Mess is onto something here…

That being said: Was it a coincidence that @rigoletto has been seen at all of the crime scenes?

Some context:

He also seems to know a LOT about donut anatomy. Suspicious…

From a parallel Universe not far from here comes Dick Spanner.
I forgot all about this tv series until I started to look for ideas for this week’s challenge. It’s crazy but fun and has some of the corniest jokes ever.

Pure entry.
