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 setup, from the classic twelfth season episode "A Tale of Two Springfields" (2000).

Homer has the dubious honour of being mayor of New Springfield, which has become a ghost town. He walks down the street with his family, grousing about the towns-people's lack of loyalty.
Homer: "Anyhow, those rats will come crawling back... we've got The Who playing here tonight!"
Lisa: "Dad, the arena's in Old Springfield” Homer: “D'oh!"
Bart: "Don't give up, Dad! Maybe we can get The Who to play here instead"
Homer: "Hey, maybe we could. But we'll need some liquid persuasion!"

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 15:29 mark. The characters are hand-painted onto six 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:
A Tale of Two Springfields" is the second episode from season twelve of the animated TV series The Simpsons and is the 250th episode of the series overall in both broadcast and production order.
When the phone company gives Springfield a new area code, Homer revolts taking the part of Springfield with the new area code (the poor side of town) with him. Soon it's Olde Springfield versus New Springfield. As mayor of New Springfield Homer runs it haphazardly and soon the population of New Springfield moves over to Olde Springfield, leaving the Simpson family as the only residents. It takes a Who concert to bring the two parts of Springfield together.
