Hopper Rolls On:
More "Nighthawks' Parodies

Nighthawks in space? Why not? This is a piece created by a guy who goes by the handle "epicpics":



What collection of parodies of anything would be complete without the Simpsons? This is yet ANOTHER still from a Simpsons episode which parodied "Nighthawks"; in this case, the episode titled "Homer Versus the 18th Amendment":



Last, a photo showing a shot from Wim Wenders' film "The End of Violence," in which he recreated the famous painting:
