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 eighth season episode "The Springfield Files" (1997).

At Moe’s Tavern, Homer is in the mood for more excitement than his regular Duff. Quick thinker, Moe draws two dots above the "u", and voila:
"Doof," direct from Sweden. "Skoal!" shouts Homer, but he's not fooled for long. Moe draws back and offers him a real new brand: "Red Tick Beer"
Homer: "Hmm... Bold, refreshing, and something I can't quite put my finger on” (at the Red Tick Beer brewery, dogs are swimming in the tank).

This is a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted production cel setup (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 04:47 mark.
Homer is hand-painted onto a single cel, and placed against a copy of the matching scene background.

This 12 field, 3-peghole, 2 cel setup 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.
