Simpson’s On Postage Stamps

Kids (both young and old) are going to love this news! Hold back the State stamps and send in the Simpson’s! The United States Postal Service announced that they will be issuing postage stamps for the always dysfunctional animated Simpson family.

The stamps will be issued to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the television show which airs on the FOX network as well as around the world. To date, the Simpson’s is the longest running comedy in the United States. An interesting twist on these stamps is that they will be the first stamps ever issued to a current ongoing prime time show. The fact that it’s an animated show just makes it more fun.

This new set of stamps will feature each of the Simpson family members. There is Marge, the forever forgiving Mom; Homer, the dim-witted Dad; Bart, the wise cracking trouble maker; Lisa, the Saxophone playing smarty pants; and Maggie, the pacifier sucking baby. The stamps will appropriately be designed by the producer and creator of the show, Matt Groening.

The United States Postal service is asking for votes to determine who the public’s favorite Simpson’s character is. To cast your vote for favorite character, visit here. As of today, “Bart” is winning in the votes, but only by a smidge. Look for these fantastic postage stamps to become available to the public on May 7, 2009.
