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).

Great scene in which Homer and Bart sneak into the Hotel Pillowmint in an attempt to get to THE WHO. They are confronted by the band's bodyguard, who is so huge he appears to take up most of the hallway.
Guard: "Can I help you?" Homer: "Uh …" Bart: "Dad, the chloroform" Homer: "Huh? Oh, right! (holds up the bottle)] I'll give you this bottle of chloroform if you'll take us to The Who" Bart: “D'oh!” (slaps forehead) Guard: "So you want to see The Who, huh? Well, I'll take you to The Who” Lifting them both up by the seat of their pants, the Guard takes them to a doorway. Guard: "Here's your Who!” (throws Bart and Homer through the door. The camera switches positions to show that they have landed right at The Who's feet !!!!

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 16:08 mark.

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.
