The USPS has issued a series of five stamps honoring the comic strips.<\/p>\n
Let’s just say of the five chosen, as far as I’m concerned the Post Office is batting .200 (with the Calvin and Hobbes selection).\u00a0 Needless to say, I’m not buying these because I like way less than half of them.<\/p>\n
BUT! Oh, my gosh.\u00a0 If you’re a regular reader of Josh Fruhlinger’s The Comics Curmudeon<\/em> blog, you’ll know that today’s entry (“Friday One-Liners,” 7\/16\/10) is so chockful of great “shouldabeen” stamp selections that you’ll laugh up a lung, or some unidentifiable bits of something.\u00a0\u00a0 (A premoistened “Marvin” stamp! A totally black “Funky Winkerbean” stamp!)<\/p>\n CC’s Boojum pretty much capped it:<\/p>\n The Calvin and Hobbes<\/em> stamp may be neither bought nor sold, but must be received as a pure gift. Properly applied, it can deliver not only the letter but the sender \u2013 immediately and free of charge \u2013 anywhere he or she can imagine: the planet Glorg, a snowy hillside, or the place where cooties are born. Its best and truest use, however, is to return the sender to childhood, and thence into a future of infinite possibilities. It is, always and forever, a First Class stamp.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n *sniff*<\/p>\n Check out the entire merry thread:<\/p>\n
