Be One Cool Cat with Garfield Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin

Like Garfield, do you dread Monday mornings? Does taking out your checkbook give you anxiety? Well, if you're a fan of the lovable, and sometimes surly, big orange cat then carrying Garfield checks will always give you a smile when you take out that checkbook. Plus, it's not as expensive as you might think, not thanks to the Internet.

Created by Jim Davis in 1978, Garfield is a comic strip that chronicles the life and times of Garfield, his owner Jon, and Jon's dog Odie. It is also the world's most syndicated comic strip, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. People all over the world know Garfield and his antics.

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 an amiable yellow dog that is mostly shown to be naive, but endearing. However, his naivete could be an act since sometimes when Jon and Garfield are gone Odie can be seen watching educational programs on television and reading. Although Garfield usually gets the better of Odie, the two do seem to share a friendship with 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 online is easy and fast and takes the chore out of going to your local bank. You just need to have your routing number and checking account number on hand to get started. These will be printed directly onto the checks themselves. You can normally expect to get the checks in the mail in around 3-5 days, which might even be sooner than your bank could have gotten them to you. - 31981
