Today's Sunday Stamps theme is illustrations, and I choose this great issue from USPS featuring the Peanuts characters created by Charles M. Schultz. The stamps were issued in 2022 on the centenary of his birth. The words USA and Forever are faint grey, at the bottom of the stamps, which my scanner did not pick up.
The stamps are arranged around an image of Schultz which is not a stamp. I did send it on some envelopes to receive the first day oof issue postmark, as seen on this image from Mail Adventures.

I was glad to get these!
ReplyDeleteThese stamps belong to the "happy stamps" category :)
They are fun, aren't they?
DeleteYes I agree with Eva a happy and joyful sheet, what wonderful characters Schultz created.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cultural impact - hard to see why anyone would not enjoy Peanuts.
DeletePeanuts was such a large part of growing up. First the funny papers and then the cartoons. In 6th grade, Charlie (Sr. Helen Charles) confided to us that she loved Linus. That year at Christmas, she received 48 (yes that's how many kids were in my class) boxes of Linus stationery. I often wondered if she was able to use up all the stationery. 🤣
ReplyDeleteFantastic story!
DeleteGreat stamps. They ARE happy stamps! :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
DeletePeanuts is so timeless, One of our newspapers still carries a cartoon every day.
ReplyDeleteThat's great that. they do that
DeleteI love all those characters! The jokes were great for kids and adults, some quite clever. I love Lucy explaining to Linus how a yellow butterfly got all the way from South America, and it turns out to be a potato chip. She doesn't back down, wondering how IT got all the say from S.A. And Snoopy has an Andrew Wyeth!
ReplyDeleteI loved how they made adults talking sound
