Do you find yourself commiserating a lot with Garfield when it comes to Monday mornings and your routine? Do you wish that you had more interesting looking personal bank checks? Well, if you're a fan of the endearing, and sometimes gruff, big orange cat then carrying Garfield checks in your checkbook will always give you a reason to smile-even when it comes to your finances.

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.

Some of the common themes in the Garfield comic strips are Garfield's affinity to Monday mornings, his laziness, his love of eating (especially lasagna), and his revulsion to diets. Both children and adults alike are fans of the comic strip, partly due to the fact that the scenarios are not political in nature and instead focus on the everyday humor that life brings.

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 amiable yellow dog that is mostly shown to be naive, but endearing. However, his naivete could be an act since sometimes when Jon and Garfield are gone Odie can be seen watching educational programs on television and reading. Although Garfield usually gets the better of Odie, the two do seem to share a friendship 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 endearing and light-hearted, just like the comic strip. You can even purchase coordinating address labels and a matching checkbook cover to go with them in order to complete your Garfield collection. Every time you write a Garfield check, you won't help but smile-even if your finances are no laughing matter.

Purchasing checks on the Internet is simple and fast and takes out the ordeal of having to visit your local bank. You just need to know your routing number and checking account number to begin. These will be printed directly onto the checks themselves. You can usually expect to receive the checks in about 3-5 days, which might even be quicker than your bank got them to you in the past.
