Postal Service Unveils Simpsons Stamps

Share

(Newser) – The eagerly awaited Simpsons postage stamps made their debut today and got an enthusiastic reception from the show's creator. "This is the biggest and most adhesive honor The Simpsons has ever received," said Matt Groening. The stamps go on sale May 7, and the US Postal Service is encouraging fans to vote for their favorite, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Only Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, and Maggie made the cut.
