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, from the classic third season episode "Stark Raving Dad" (1991).

Sensational image of Homer and Leon Kompowski locked up in the New Bedlam mental institution !!!

Michael Jackson (1958 — 2009) guest-starred on The Simpsons, and in this episode, he performed the speaking voice of Leon Kompowsky under the pseudonym John Jay Smith.
Jackson was a fan of the show and called Matt Groening one night and offered to do a guest spot.

This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted piece that was filmed under the camera, and used in the making of this Simpsons episode. Freeze-frame your DVD or Video, and you will see this unique piece of artwork! The characters are hand-painted onto separate cels, and placed against a copy made from the original matching scene background.

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.
