Get the latest information on postal stamps of The Simpsons, which are set to be released on May 7. Read more in the article on E Online below.
Monty Burns, eat your heart out.Certain to make the rest of Springfield's denizens jealous, the U.S. Postal Service today unveiled 44-cent first-class stamps of The Simpsons. The collection will be released nationwide on May 7.
"This is the biggest and most adhesive honor The Simpsons has ever received," said show mastermind Matt Groening, who conceived the original artwork for the stamps.
In honor of the Fox animated series' 20th season, there are four commemorative designs, each with a different portrait of four-fingered family: a dazed/crazed Homer, a worried Marge, a cow-causing Bart, a smiling Lisa and PO'd-looking Maggie.
(Sorry, Santa's Little Helper and Snowball II, no stamps for you).
The Postal Service has launced a Simpsons-themed site at www.usps.com/simpsons with special products and a poll asking fans to vote for their favorite stamp.
