So I opened a new account at a new credit union, time to order some checks. “No problem”, I say, as I get a box of 'em free with said account. My beloved wife explains how there are many cool and cute check artwork options available that I may not have thought of.
I’m happy with Boring Blue.
So just for the heck of it, I need to find the Fangoria of check printers. Blood, nudity, puke, and big dog turds. And does that come with a leather cover?
If you believe Visa’s advertising, simply using checks is antisocial enough. 
A long time ago I saw an ad in (I think it was) Games magazine (and it wasn’t the Fake Ad either – “Which of our pitches is full of hitches?” . . . so anyway) for some hilarious-looking checks featuring a cartoony old man mooning the reader, flipping the bird, sitting on the crapper, etc. They were advertised as being great for paying bills. I might have the torn-out page in my “archives” somewhere, but I haven’t seen it for years.
At the time, I was just a sweet young thing who would never consider using something so vulgar, but these days . . . sometimes it’s tempting.
That does make for some interesting search strings, so thanks for the diversion at least. 
Not having much luck with really good gross ones, but there are at least some less traditionally cute ones here.
I have a hard enough time keeping my finances straight without getting distracted with ‘stuff’ on my checks. I prefer a dull antique yellow with basic block lettering…with a side of “balanced!!” once a month.
But if someone offered Rock-n-Roll checks, i might have to reconsider.
you could always go for irony.
That is, if you can keep the vomit down.
One piece of advice: Do not go with the design we used to have – the checks were designed to look like they had been wrinkled up, mushed into a ball, and flattened out again. The lines were all crooked, the font was messy, and the checks generally looked like crap.
You would not believe how many fucking morons wouldn’t accept them. Even when I pointed out to them that the texture of the paper was perfectly flat and that they were obviously novelty checks, I’d still get people refusing to take them “in that condition”.
The fifth one down makes me twitch.
As always, Cecil has the answer.
My mom gets standard issue checks from her bank for free; however, because she has a “gold” checking account, she gets the option of adding all sorts of things to those checks at no extra charge. Currently, her checks have “Yes, everything on the front is correct!!!” printed in bold type just above the signature line.
Only the fifth?
I’m of the opinion that Anne Geddes should be fed to Wegman’s dogs.
Whoops.
Oh my God
How about Ozzy Osbourne? Other rockers, including KISS, Jimi Hendrix, and Rob Zombie available here.
Pirates? Arrrrrr!
Thanks for the help, folks. I may get these, unless I can find the ones Hal is talking about. Those sound perfect.
You’re going to be freaking out some of the people you hand those to, I’m sure.
Congrats!
Those are awesome! My boys would love it!
