I recently asked my husband to pick up some first class stamps when he was out and about, and this is what came home!
Who knew The Simpsons would be immortalized on U.S. Postage Stamps! I certainly hadn’t heard and now I have Homer, Marge, Lisa, Maggie and Bart to deal with whenever I send out greeting cards, bill payments or anything through the mail! I’m not sure how I missed this important new stamp launch, but in case you did too, here is a recap.
Launched on May 7, 2009, the 44¢ first class stamps are quite bright and bold and sure to be noticed! They launched with quite a bit of fanfare including a poll to vote for your favorite Simpson character, which was won by Maggie with 29.7% of the 916,000 ballots cast. Homer, who was favored initially, came in with 28.8% of the vote with Bart at 18.9%. The television series launched in 1990 is the longest running primetime comedy in television history.
“Ay, Carumba!” is all I can say!
