Let Garfield and Company Redefine Your Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin

Like Garfield, do you dread Monday mornings? Does taking out your checkbook give you anxiety? Well, if you're a fan of the lovable, and sometimes surly, big orange cat then carrying Garfield checks will always give you a smile when you take out that checkbook. Plus, it's not as expensive as you might think, not thanks to the Internet.

Created by Jim Davis in 1978, Garfield is a comic strip that chronicles the life and times of Garfield, his owner Jon, and Jon's dog Odie. It is also the world's most syndicated comic strip, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. People all over the world know Garfield and his antics.

Garfield's abhorrence of Monday mornings, his laziness, his obsessive love of eating, and his distaste of diets are some of the common themes that can be found within the comic strips. Both children and adults are able to enjoy the humor, somewhat due to the fact that the storylines are not political in nature and instead center on the daily humor that life can bring.

Jon is the owner of Garfield and Odie. He is generally portrayed as being somewhat geeky, although good hearted. Jon's inability to find a date is an on-running joke, as are his eccentric habits such as stamp collecting and measuring his toenails. According to Garfield, he also has questioning taste in fashion as well.

Odie is an affable yellow dog that is frequently shown to be nave, but amiable. From time to time, when Garfield and Jon are gone, Odie can be seen reading literary novels and watching educational programs on television. Garfield often gets the better of him, especially when it comes to food, although the two do share a kinship with one another.

Now, if you're a fan of Garfield and his friends, then you can get Garfield personal bank checks at a portion of the cost that you might have paid at your bank by ordering your checks online. When you use a safe site you can save as much as 50% off the price that you might have paid in the past.

The Garfield checks are charming and cheery, just like the comic strip. You can even find coordinating address labels and a matching checkbook cover to go with them in order to complete your Garfield collection. No matter how much anxiety your finances might give you, you won't be able to help but smile when you write out a Garfield check.

Ordering checks online is simple and quick and takes the task out of going to your local bank. You just need to know your routing number and checking account number to get started. These will be printed directly onto the checks themselves. You can typically expect to receive the checks in around 3-5 days, which might even be faster than your bank got them to you in the past.
