Let Garfield and Company Redefine Your Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin

Do you find yourself commiserating a lot with Garfield when it comes to Monday mornings and your routine? Do you wish that you had more interesting looking personal bank checks? Well, if you're a fan of the endearing, and sometimes gruff, big orange cat then carrying Garfield checks in your checkbook will always give you a reason to smile-even when it comes to your finances.

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.

Garfield's abhorrence of Monday mornings, his laziness, his obsessive love of eating, and his distaste of diets are some of the common themes that can be found within the comic strips. Both children and adults are able to enjoy the humor, somewhat due to the fact that the storylines are not political in nature and instead center on the daily humor that life can bring.

Jon is Garfield and Odie's owner and is usually portrayed as a nice, if somewhat geeky, character. He has eccentric habits such as stamp collecting and dubious fashion taste, according to Garfield. Some of the jokes in the comic strip focus on Jon's inability to garner a date.

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.

Now, if you're a fan of Garfield and his friends, then you can get Garfield personal bank checks at a portion of the cost that you might have paid at your bank by ordering your checks online. When you use a safe site you can save as much as 50% off the price that you might have paid in the past.

The Garfield checks are engaging and cheerful just like the comic strip itself. You can even get coordinating address labels and a matching checkbook cover to go with your checks if you'd like. It will be hard not to smile when you write a check over a picture of Garfield, no matter how much anxiety the idea of your finances usually gives you.

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.
