Who's this guy that Queen Juliana has on her mind?
This is an example of what I refer to as UJ's --Unexpected Juxtapositions -- caused by a cancel's words or pictures over the stamp's design causing an amusing or puzzling or embarrassing juxtaposition.
I look at many, many thousands of canceled stamps in my search for readable town cancels, and so I see many UJ's. Some people even collect them.
Have you got any interesting UJ's that youll share with us here?

Very cute. By the way, the cancel is advertising "Voor het kind" stamps. In English: "For the Children" stamps.
In Holland, at least when I was a child each spring the school children used to go door to door to sell the "Children's stamps".

Neat. I'm sure there are many such examples - great idea for a fun collection.
