We are pleased to offer SIMPSONS fans this RARE hand painted original production cel, from the classic sixth season episode # "Sideshow Bob Roberts" (1994).

Sensational cel featuring Sideshow Bob wrapped in a US flag !!!!

This magnificent cel appears from the scene set inside a sinister castle with a sign reading, "Republican Party Headquarters”. A secret meeting is attended by Mr Burns, Birch Barlow, Dr Hibberd, Ranier Wolfcastle and a ghoul to nominate a candidate to run against Joe Quimby in the election for mayor. The door is opened to reveal the next mayor of Springfield, revealing Sideshow Bob, wrapped in a US flag.

This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted piece that was filmed under the camera, and used in the making of this Simpsons episode. Freeze-frame your DVD or Video, and you will see this unique piece of artwork!

The animation cel measures 10.5 inches by 12.5 inches wide and has the three-peg punch holes, and bears the Twentieth Century Fox gold seal (lower corner). The artwork is accompanied by the original Twentieth Century Fox certificate of authenticity and is in excellent condition.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
"Sideshow Bob Roberts" is the fifth episode of The Simpsons' sixth season. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on October 9th, 1994.
In this episode Kelsey Grammer returns as Sideshow Bob, who wins the Springfield mayoral election through electoral fraud. The inspiration for this episode was drawn from the Watergate scandal, and included many cultural references to political films, as well as real-life events. These included the film All the President's Men and the first televised debate between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy during the 1960 United States presidential election.
