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 outstanding hand painted original master background of the iconic "SIMPSONS HOUSE", from the classic season thirteen episode “The Old Man and the Key" (2002). This background also has cels of Homer’s car in the driveway with Grampa walking towards the house.

These backgrounds are the rarest of rare, when it comes to Simpsons animation art, as these are "hold" or "freeze" shots. These are iconic images of the most famous and familiar of Springfield locations. 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 07:56 mark.

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:
"The Old Man and the Key" is the thirteenth episode of The Simpsons thirteenth season, originally airing on March 10, 2002. When a sultry new woman (Olympia Dukakis) takes up residence in his retirement home, Grampa is determined to win her affections by impressing her with his driving skills. Grampa convinces Homer to let him borrow the car, and he proceeds to make a mess of the town's roads. Although he impresses the new old gal, he's still forced to compete with the younger Casa Nova of the retirement home. When the younger man takes Grampa's new girl on a road trip, Grampa "kidnaps" Bart, taking him on the road to win back the woman from the arms of the other man. Of course in the end, he's unsuccessful in his attempts, but he and Bart are able to bond through the experience.
