Not to be outdone by the UK and their awesome mythological creature stamps, the US Postal Service has announced that they will be releasing a line of postage stamps later this year that will be based on the long running animated series The Simpsons.
The 44-cent first-class mail stamps, designed by Simpsons creator and executive producer Matt Groening, will feature Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson.
The stamps, a sneak peek for which will be unveiled April 9, also will help celebrate the longest-running primetime comedy's 20th anniversary this year.
The Postal Service receives about 50,000 stamp suggestions per year, but only about 20 ideas make the cut, the companies said.
As soon as images of the stams become available, I'll be sure to post them. So check back here on the 9th and I'll do my best to have them here for you.
This has gotten me to thinking though, what properties would I want to see made into stamps? We already had Star Wars stamps a few years ago. Ditto for Star Trek. So what hasn't been made into a stamp yet that I'd actually want to go out and buy? The only thing I could really think of would be GI Joe stamps based on the 80's cartoon (not the 1960's dolls).
What would you want to see made into a series of stamps?
