Got Funny

As the popular theme song goes, who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Of course it’s Spongebob Squarepants! Adults and children are enthusiastic about this popular cartoon character who has become one of the most recognizable figures in the world. Now, you can even take him and his friends out of their home in Bikini Bottom and carry them around in your own checkbook.

Spongebob, who looks more like a kitchen sponge than a sea sponge, is likable and well-meaning. Children are able to relate to his silliness while adults can understand the innuendos that are used in the popular television show. Even Time Magazine listed “Spongebob Squarepants” as one of the “greatest television shows of all time.”

Present day cartoonist and former marine biologist Stephen Hillenburg created Spongebob and his friends back in 1999. As a result of Stephen’s background, the cartoon features a lot of insides jokes about marine life. The premises of the cartoon is set around Spongebob’s daily life and adventures in his underwater home in the Pacific Ocean.

Spongebob’s friends have become almost as popular as him. Other characters that play significant parts in the cartoon are his friend Patrick Star, Sandy Cheeks, his nasty neighbor Squidward Tentacles, his pet snail Gary, his penny-pinching boss Mr. Krabs, and Mr. Krab’s arch rival Sheldon Plankton.

Spongebob and his co-stars are celebrating their tenth year anniversary this year. You can now help them celebrate by carrying around personal checks that include images of the Bikini Bottom gang.

Spongebob Squarepants’ checks come in 4 rotating designs. The good thing about rotating designs is that every check you write will be different from the one before it. The characters of Spongebob, Patrick, Sandy, Mr. Krabs, and Squidward are all featured on the checks themselves.

The Spongebob checks usually come in the top-tear fashion, meaning that the checks are ripped off the stub from the top. Duplicate checks can also be purchased, which are good for record-keeping.

By ordering your SpongeBob checks online, you can save as much as 50% off of what you would normally pay at your local bank.

When purchasing your checks online, you will need to know your checking account number, as well as your routing number. These will be printed onto the checks themselves.

Once you place your order, it takes about 5 days on average to receive your checks in the mail. Having them over-nighted will get them to you quicker, but you’ll also pay around $20. Some websites even offer free shipping so make sure you read all of the fine print and look at the various shipping options.

When ordering online, you can pay either by credit card or right through your checking account on most websites. It only takes a few minutes to enter your information and then all you have to do is sit back and wait for SpongeBob to arrive in the mail, friends in tow.
