Be One Cool Cat with Garfield Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin

Are you a fan of Garfield, John, and Odie? Are you tired of your plain old boring personal bank checks? Are you afraid that purchasing interesting looking checks will be not only costly but time consuming as well? It's not as expensive as you might think, now thanks to the Internet. If you're a fan of Garfield and his friends, you can even carry Garfield-inspired checks. Your checkbook will never be dull again.

Created in 1978 by Jim Davis, Garfield is the world's most syndicated comic strip. Everyone around the world is familiar with Garfield and his pals. The comic strip centers on the life and adventures of Garfield, a large orange, and sometimes lazy, cat as well as his owner Jon and Jon's dog, Odie.

Some of the things that the comic strip focuses on are Garfield's repulsion to diets, his lethargy, his love of all things food, and his detestation of Mondays. Since the comic strip is not political in nature, but rather focuses on the humor of daily life, both children and adults are able to enjoy his antics.

Jon, Garfield and Odie's owner, is a geeky but good-hearted man. According to Garfield, he has questionable taste in fashion and eccentric habits, such as watching polka ninja movies and collecting stamps. Jon's failure of being able to find a date is one of the comic strip's long running jokes.

Odie is a yellow dog that is usually shown to be nave, but lovable. Sometimes, when Garfield and Jon are out of the house, Odie can be seen reading large novels and watching educational television. Garfield often gets the better of him, although the two do share an affinity for one another.

Today, if you're a fan of Garfield and Company, then you can purchase Garfield personal bank checks at a fraction of the cost that you might have paid at your bank by ordering online. When you use a reputable site you can save as much as 50% off the cost that you might have paid in the past. Plus, you will have a larger multitude of checks to select from, too.

The Garfield checks are endearing and light-hearted, just like the comic strip. You can even purchase coordinating address labels and a matching checkbook cover to go with them in order to complete your Garfield collection. Every time you write a Garfield check, you won't help but smile-even if your finances are no laughing matter.

Purchasing checks on the Internet is simple and fast and takes out the ordeal of having to visit your local bank. You just need to know your routing number and checking account number to begin. These will be printed directly onto the checks themselves. You can usually expect to receive the checks in about 3-5 days, which might even be quicker than your bank got them to you in the past.
