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

Great cel of Sideshow Bob arriving with his men arriving at the Simpsons house.

Sideshow Bob: "So sorry, Mr. Simpson. Your house is blocking construction of our new Matlock Expressway (camera pulls back to show expressway looming overhead the Simpsons House) Now, I am a fair man. You will have 72 hours to vacate. At that time we will blow up your house and any remaining Simpsons"

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 14:08 mark. The characters are hand-painted onto seperate cels, 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.

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.
