The Simpsons Stamps

From: http://www.popcrunch.com/the-simpsons-stamps/

The Simpsons will be immortalized on stamps to be issued by the U.S. Postal Service later this year.

The 44-cent first-class stamps, designed by Simpsons creator and executive producer Matt Groening, will feature Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson.

Be on the lookout for a sneak peek of the stamps, which will be unveiled April 9. The stamps will also help celebrate the show becoming television's longest-running primetime comedy as it marks its 20th anniversary this year.

I will have to come up with a Springpatch Local Post issue for it and a cachet cover. Maybe my town of Springfield IL will be able to host the First Day Ceremony since we lost out on The Simpsons Movie opening day contest over a year ago. I started watching that show when it was on the Tracey Ulman show inbetween skits.

You do realize today is April fools day ...

Is this for real >>>

yup..saw it in an actual newspaper also

Cowabunga Dudes!

I'll have to get one of my American buddies to pick me up a sheet... I love the Simpsons!

There has been talk about the Simpson stamps since last year, but nothing had been confirmed by the USPS to an actual release date or how many stamps were going to be in the issue. Nothing is set in stone until I can purchase them at the post office, they've already pushed back a few issues this year.

I love the Simpsons. I have watched that show from the beginning. I will definitely have to get these.

I thought that too, when I read the article

If this is for real, I really, really need someone to send me these!

warrehouse....cowabanga is from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cartoon Series

Yes. You are correct. Apirl Fools Day

johnstamp,
Cowabunga, much like "Eat my shorts, man", was also an advertising catch phrase for Bart on T shirts & stickers. I'm not sure if he actual used it on the TV show.

I too thought, "Cowabunga" was a Turtles thing. I thought Bart was the "Aye Caramba"-guy
But obviously you're right, google found several "Cowabunga" shirts with Bart on it

Drudenfus,
Aye Caramba was very popular as well. I was in my early teen years when The Simpsons started and I am a pop culture sponge- true to my Generation X status.

USPS release date.
