The Simpsons To Feature On US Stamps
The US Postal Service have announced that the Simpsons family will be commemorated on 44-cent First-Class Mail stamps in 2009. Featuring images of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson, the stamps have been personally designed by creator and executive producer, Matt Groening.
The Postal Service receives about 50,000 stamp suggestions per year, yet only about 20 topics make the cut for circulation, The Simpsons being one of the lucky few getting chosen.
A sneak peek of the new stamps will be made available on Thursday, April 9 at 8 am ET on the US Postal Service website. At that time, the Postal Service will announce the date the stamps go on sale and how to pre-order the stamps.
“This has been a dream for Fox and The Simpsons creative teams for some time and we are very proud to have been granted this honor. The timing couldn’t be better as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show,” said Elie Dekel, Executive Vice President, Fox Licensing and Merchandising.
