Let Garfield and Company Redefine Your 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.

Garfield is a comic strip that was created by Jim Davis in 1978. It chronicles the life and adventures of Garfield, his owner Jon, and Odie, Jon's dog. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, it is also the world's most syndicated comic strip.

Some of the common themes in the Garfield comic strips are Garfield's affinity to Monday mornings, his laziness, his love of eating (especially lasagna), and his revulsion to diets. Both children and adults alike are fans of the comic strip, partly due to the fact that the scenarios are not political in nature and instead focus on the everyday humor that life brings.

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 an affable yellow dog that is frequently shown to be nave, but amiable. From time to time, when Garfield and Jon are gone, Odie can be seen reading literary novels and watching educational programs on television. Garfield often gets the better of him, especially when it comes to food, although the two do share a kinship 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 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.

Ordering checks online is simple and quick and takes the task out of going to your local bank. You just need to know your routing number and checking account number to get started. These will be printed directly onto the checks themselves. You can typically expect to receive the checks in around 3-5 days, which might even be faster than your bank got them to you in the past.
