Thank you, Anu, for my new swollen head.
Looks kinda cool in a cubist type of way. Like a profile and a frontal shot at the same time.
Cubist it is. Thanks to a few of our posters on this and other threads, it has swollen to fit the interior of my cubist office. I was fortunate enough to think ahead (NPI) and position my mouth near one of the doors, so I'm able to take sustinence and shout obscenities.

Good read, Avy.
The word-hunt phrases I list below are based on information in the book NAMES by Paul Dickson. The answers preceed or are with-in the questions asked.
(1) What was the name of Holly Golightly's cat in the movie and the book "Breakfast At Tiffany's?
(2)In the television series "Columbo" Inspector Columbo's basset hound was wrinkled and lazy. What was the dog's name?
(3)Just by looking at it most people can tell a manifest connection between the name and the thing. The name was Llulu; what was the animal?
(4)Harpo Marx had a pet sea gull. He named it after the director of "Riot In Cell Block 11" a movie about a prison revolt and the subsequent siege lockdown reluctantly ordered by the wishee-washee warden.
The sea gull's name was ____ Siegel !
Well? Ice Ages come and go so I'll highlight above the simple answers that you fellow onnicklers found so difficult. Cheers!

Conversation overheard one foggy morning in Germantown.
“Are you Maria Eberhardt-Will?”
“I am, ja! Was ist los?”
“You are hereby served with a subpoena duces tecum.”
“Sehr gut! Guten Tag!”
“Huh?”
“Maam, I said ‘very good and have a good day.’”
“Oh, I don’t understand German, only Spanish.”
“Muy bien – buenos dias, hermana!”

Where's that "Like" button? Like the embedding. Like the onnicle. Like the clue. Like the multi-level misdirection. Like "Wiliam Tecumseh Sherman." (I'd also Like to have more time to put up the next target but alas it isn't there - someone else should take it as it's likely to be a couple of days before I can.)

I have it by george...I have been coming back to this puzzle over last few days. I got the William bit straight off but then had to look for the rest. Once I saw Sherman I was on to it. Now I understand the 'general' clue LOL. I was stuck on the 'conversation' part and was thinking William Tell.
The answer is William Tecumseh Sherman.
