Scooby Doo, Where are You? Personal Checks

By Alan Plastin

Do you love Scooby Doo and mystery solving pals? Most people grew up watching this silly dog and his ghost hunting friends. The mystery-solving group has been uncovering secrets since the1960's. Scooby himself has turned up on many products throughout the years. At King's Island, he even has his own ride where riders can help him catch ghosts. If you adore Scooby Doo, you might even want to consider using him on your personal bank 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.

Together with Velma, Fred, Daphne, and his best friend, Shaggy, Scooby and his pals solved mysteries and chased ghosts. Of course, most of the time the ghosts turned out to be people who were trying to extort someone for money or take advantage of someone for their own needs. It was generally a character that we had already been introduced to.

The Scooby Doo cartoon was originated as an attempt to get away from more violent cartoons like Space Ghost and Johnny Quest. Few people know that the Scooby Doo cartoon was based on a combination of the I Love a Mystery radio show and the old black and white television show "The Many Loves of Doby Gillis." Scooby himself got his name from the Frank Sinatra scat in his famous song "Strangers in the Night."

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

One trendy check series features Scooby and the gang as they hunt for clues to their latest mystery. Scooby is shown on all four of the checks in this series, but you can also see Daphne, Fred, Velma, and Shaggy too. Where would Scooby be without his pals, after all?

Another check series also features 4 checks, but the Mystery Machine is featured in one of them, as well as Scooby eating some of his famous Scooby Snacks. Scooby wouldn't be complete without some food-even when he is being chased by ghosts.

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 bank checks are dull. If you give somebody a Scooby Doo check, though, you will be assured to get a grin. People are nostalgic by temperament and most people grew up at least watching an episode of the famous dog on occasion. Even today, more than 40 years after the much-loved dog first arrived, he still manages to sell millions of dollars worth of merchandise. - 30542
