Ay, Caramba-Bank Checks Featuring The Simpsons

by Guest Author

If you are a fan of The Simpsons then you are not alone. The show itself is the longest-running American sitcom, the longest-running American animated program, and the longest running American prime time entertainment series. Millions of dollars of merchandise has been sold all around the world with the Simpson's images and now you can even purchase personal bank checks with the famous family on them.

Created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company, The Simpsons was more or less a satire of the middle-class American lifestyle and the main family members were created around Groening's own family. The main Simpson family members are Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. However, some of the minor characters, have become just as popular as the main characters.

The show debuted as its own stand alone show on December 17, 1989. It first appeared as shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show on April 19, 1987. Later on, it became the first Fox television series to get in the Top 30 ratings in a season.

The Simpsons has won 26 Annie Awards, 24 Primetime Emmy Awards since debuting, and on January 14, 2000 it got its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The series itself revolves around a family that lives in the fictional Mid-Western style town of Springfield. (A specific state is never given, as there are many "Springfields" throughout the United States.) Homer is married to Marge Simpson, a housewife and mother to his three children, Maggie, Bart, and Lisa. Bart is a ten-year-old boy that often gets into trouble; Lisa is a smart eight-year-old; and Maggie is the baby who always has pacifier in tow. The characters never age.

There are also many quirky minor characters that include teachers, co-workers, family members, friends, local celebrities, and other townspeople.

Since the rise of The Simpsons' popularity, billions of dollars worth of merchandising has been sold. You can find everything from board games like Operation, Monopoly, and Clue featuring the Simpsons to books, T-shirts, and posters. When the movie came out, twelve t-Eleven stores were even transformed into Kwik-E-Marts, a popular destination in the series, as part of the promotion.

You don't have to find a Kwik-E-Mart to show your loyalty if you are a fan, however. You can just carry the family around in your wallet.

If you decide to purchase The Simpson's checks, you can bring all the laughter and hilarity of the show to life eery time you take out your check book. The checks, which come in several series, feature Bart, Homer, Lisa, and Marge & Maggie. They also come in four different rotating designs. Matching return address labels and checkbook cover are available to coordinate with your Simpsons checks.

The checks themselves, which only feature the main Simpson family members, show each character in a pose. In one particular series, Bart is featured glancing up with an oddly contented look with a thumbs-up. A skateboard and the words "Looking fabulous" are also included on this check.

Homer's check shows him up close with his favorite donut and the words: "Donuts...is there anything they can't do?" Lisa's check, on the other hand, states, "The truth must be told." Her check also contains a picture of a saxophone. Maggie and Marge are on the fourth check with the words "The extra ingredient is care."

If you want to save money on your checks, try buying them online and don't go to your local bank. You can save as much as 50% off the cost that your bank might have charged you if you try a safe website. In addition, you will have a variety of designs to pick from and your new checks will arrive in about 5-7 days.
