We are pleased to offer SIMPSONS fans this RARE hand painted original production cel, from the classic third season episode # "Homer at the Bat" (1992).

Sensational cel featuring a pivotal moment from this classic episode in which Homer opens his case to Lenny and Carl to reveal his secret weapon, a homemade bat named "Wonder Bat" that he made from a fallen tree branch during a thunderstorm.

The game is tied, it's the bottom of the ninth, and the bases are loaded. There are two outs, and Darryl Strawberry is due to bat. Even though Darryl has hit nine home runs, Burns sends him to the showers because Strawberry and the pitcher are both left-handed. (“It's called playing the percentages."') He sends Homer, a right-hander, to the plate instead.

This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted production cel setup (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! The characters, as well as the “Wonder Bat” box, are hand-painted onto separate cels, and placed against a copy made from the original matching scene background.

This 12 field, 3-peghole, 5 cel setup 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.
