Comic Mint is your best source for 100% genuine Simpsons Animation Artwork licensed by Twentieth Century Fox.
We are pleased to offer SIMPSONS fans this RARE hand painted original production cel from the classic fifth season episode "Lady Bouvier's Lover" (1994).

This classic scene is from when Bart hears about an Itchy & Scratchy animation cell which costs $350 while he is watching the TV shopping channel. He buys one with one of Homer's credit cards.
Bart: "Hey, Lis! Guess who's got a genuine Itchy and Scratchy animation cel?"
Lisa: Oh! That is so cool! That is so exciting! That is so… (Bart removes the cel from the mailing tube)… crappy!
It looks like part of Scratchy's arm!"
Bart: "Oh, no. I used Dad's credit card to buy this!” Lisa: “Yeesh! How much was it?"
Bart: “$350.00” Lisa: "Ooh…"

This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted production cel (there are no others), and the artwork was filmed and used in the making of this SIMPSONS episode. Freeze-frame your DVD or Video, and you will see this unique piece of artwork on screen around the 10:30 mark. Bart and the cel are hand-painted onto a single cel and placed against a copy of the matching scene background.

This 12 field, 3-peghole, celluloid measures 10.5 inches by 12.5 inches wide, and bears the Twentieth Century Fox gold seal (lower corner). The artwork is also accompanied with the original Twentieth Century Fox certificate of authenticity and is in excellent condition.
