The reason I prefer Columbo over Holmes is because with Columbo the fun comes in seeing how he catches the criminal since we already know the following: how it was done and who did it. No matter how good the criminal thinks he/she is, they always make a small mistake that Columbo notices and uses to catch them (in one story, he figured out how the criminal committed the crime by noticing something wasn't there that should have been).
With Conan Edogawa (the name comes from a combination of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Alan Poe), in the manga/anime he is a character who was inspired by and models himself after Holmes and he is supposed to have detective skills on the same level as Holmes. He's so good that the Police go to him for assistance despite the fact that he is a teenager. Despite being reduced the size of a school child (due to a poison that was supposed to kill him) that forces him to disguise himself as a grade school student, he still solves crimes.
Returning to the suspicious events involving PoohBear, I was looking around an area near his coop and I noticed a small spaceship hidden in the woods. It was interesting that the ship had a seat the looked like it was made to fit a small chicken. Plus, I found a book titled "To Serve Chicken" in the ship...
I wonder if PoohBear is not a chicken but a chickenoid from another planet?
