In a recent post some guy was asking for an animation cell and said he'd
pay like $5-8. Does anyone know where (if) an animation cell from the
Simposns can be purchased. Also five bucks seems pretty damn lowball to
me. Does any of this make sense or am I too stupid to live falling for an
April Fools post.

(I mean come on, Bart paid $300 for Itchy's hand in an animation cell)

The usual price can be anywhere from 300 to 1,000 bucks, depending on
many things. Do a search on the web for Cartoon and Cel.

Anyone making a serious offer of $5-8 forgot a couple of zero's!

If all one wants is the art, non-production cels are now being sold
for about half the price of a production cel. These are made for the
person that would rather display than invest. Do a lot of reading and
investigating before forking any money over as you can get burned!

You mean Scratchy's arm. Drawn by nobody. Presumably worth NOTHING.

However, I took the liberty to check my animation cel catalogues, and I
found one cel with the entire Simpson family (including SLH & S2) eating
breakfast. Can't identify which episode, but here is the info written
underneath it:

SIMPSONS, 1990's
Marge, Homer
ORIGINAL PRODUCTION CEL
Image Size: 10" x 12"
$600.00

I saw a couple cells at the last San Diego Comic Con. One was pretty good
and the other wasn't, but both were in the $300-$400 range.

Help, I need a copy of Homer's telamarketing message on his machine. Not
the original one but the apology on his answering machine. If anyone has
a copy of this show. I would be much interested in getting a copy or I
can just send you a tape and you can record just that part. I have tons
of stuff to trade or whatever. Thanks in advance.
