Scooby Doo Personal Bank Checks

By Alan Plastin

Are you a fan of Scooby Doo and his pals? Most people are. The mystery-solving team has been going strong since the1960's. Scooby has appeared on many items over the years. He even has his own ride at King's Island where riders can help him catch ghosts. If you love Scooby, you might want to even carry him around on your personal checks.

Scooby Doo has been a popular cartoon character since 1969. Although is various cartoons have gone through different versions since the first "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?", he is still as beloved today as he ever was.

Scooby couldn't have done most of what he did without his best friend, Shaggy, or his other mystery-solving friends. Along with Velma, Daphne, and Fred, the group solved mysteries and exposed ghosts. Or did they? In the beginning, most of the ghosts were simply people pretending to haunt a place in order to extort someone or wreck havoc.

The Scooby Doo cartoon came about in order to get away from more violent cartoons like Johnny Quest. Scooby Doo was based on a combination og the popular series "The Many Loves of Doby Gillis" and radio serials "I Love a Mystery." The Scooby Doo characters are also loosely based on the Doby Gillis characters as well. Scooby's name was inspired by Frank Sinatra's scat in "Strangers in the Night." At first, his name was "Too Much."

There are several check series to pick from if think that you would like to carry the team around in your wallet.

One popular check series shows Scooby and Company as they search for clues to their latest mystery. Scooby is featured on all four of the checks in this series, but you can see Daphne, Fred, Velma, and Shaggy in them as well. After all, where would Scooby be without his friends?

A similar check series also features the gang, but the Mystery Machine is included, too, as well as an image of Scooby eating some of his well-known Scooby Snacks. Scooby wouldn't be Scooby without some food-even when he is being pursued by ghosts.

Matching checkbook covers, address labels, and even contact cards can generally be purchased to match your new checks.

If you didn't purchase unique checks in the past because you didn't like going to the bank, sorting through the checks that were available, and paying a hefty price then you are in luck. Thanks to the Internet, you no longer have to do that anymore. Now, you can order your checks online from a safe website and not only save as much as 50% off of what you might have paid at the bank itself, but also be privy to hundreds of designs.

Simple bank checks are dull. If you give somebody a Scooby Doo check, though, you will be assured to get a grin. People are nostalgic by temperament and most people grew up at least watching an episode of the famous dog on occasion. Even today, more than 40 years after the much-loved dog first arrived, he still manages to sell millions of dollars worth of merchandise. - 31981
