We are pleased to offer SIMPSONS fans this RARE hand painted original production cel, from the classic eleventh season episode "Grift of the Magi" (1999).

This hilarious cel is from the scene in which Milhouse and Bart inspect the closets in Homer and Marge's bedroom and Milhouse finds a box of wigs! He suggests they dress up like ladies. Bart hesitantly responds, "Wouldn't that make us kind of fruity?" Milhouse, donning a wig and bra, calls Bart afraid. Not one to take an insult, Bart puts on a dress and is impressed with how well it hides his thighs. Soon, Bart and Milhouse are fully dressed as women and are jumping on Bart's parents' bed. Homer tries to come in and is surprised to find the door locked. Startled, Bart falls off the bed and his rear lands on a bowling ball. Then, Homer gets the door open. Homer: "What's going on?! (threateningly) And I want a non-gay explanation!" Milhouse: "Uh ... we're drunk. Really drunk!" Homer: "Oh, thank God!"

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 03:02 mark. The character is hand-painted onto a single cel, 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.
