Scooby Doo, Where are You? Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin

Are you a fan of Scooby Doo and his pals? Most people are. The mystery-solving team has been going strong since the1960's. Scooby has appeared on many items over the years. He even has his own ride at King's Island where riders can help him catch ghosts. If you love Scooby, you might want to even carry him around on your personal checks.

Since 1969, Scooby Doo has been a popular cartoon character. His first cartoon, "Scooby Doo-Where Are You?" has changed a lot over the years, but he is still the same-scared of ghosts and always hungry.

Scooby was nothing without his companions, and especially his best friend, Shaggy. Together, Fred, Velma, Scooby, Daphne, and Shaggy solved mysteries that involved ghosts and haunted buildings-or did they? At least until recently, the ghosts themselves usually ended up being an opportunist trying to get the best of a kind hearted person.

At the time that Scooby Doo came out as a cartoon, there were quite a few violent cartoons on television like Johnny Quest and Space Ghost. Scooby was an attempt to get away from that. The concept of the show was a combination of the popular television show "The Many Loves of Doby Gillis" and the "I Love a Mystery" radio serials. Frank Sinatra's scat in "Strangers in the Night" inspired Scooby's name. He was originally called "Too Much."

There are several check series to pick from if think that you would like to carry the team around in your wallet.

One popular check series shows Scooby and Company as they search for clues to their latest mystery. Scooby is featured on all four of the checks in this series, but you can see Daphne, Fred, Velma, and Shaggy in them as well. After all, where would Scooby be without his friends?

An additional check series also contains 4 checks, but the Mystery Machine is shown in one of them, in addition to an image of Scooby eating some of his famous Scooby Snacks. Scooby wouldn't be whole without some food-even when ghosts are chasing him.

You can also purchase matching checkbook covers, contact cards, and address labels to go with your new checks, too.

If you didn't buy exclusive checks before because you didn't like going to the bank, sifting through the checks that were on hand, and paying a large fee then you are in luck. Thanks to the web, you don't have to do that any longer. Currently, you can buy your checks online from a protected website and not only save as much as 50% off of what you might have spent at the bank, but also have hundreds of designs available to you.

Simple and plain bank checks are boring and uninspiring. However, giving someone a Scooby Doo check is sure to brighten their day. After all, he is probably the most famous dog in the world! People are nostalgic and most everyone likes to be reminded of their childhood in some form or fashion. - 29967
