‘The Simpsons’ get the mugs on U.S. Stamps

If you weren’t already aware of this, the U.S. Post Office will be hiking up the price of stamps, once again. The new run of first-class stamps will go from $0.42 each to the new rate of $0.44 each. However, to ease your troubled minds about this economically-relevant news, the Post Office revealed on Thursday a sneak peek at their new ‘Simpsons’ stamps, which will be available starting May 7, 2009.

“This is the biggest and most adhesive honor ‘The Simpsons’ has ever received,” said creator and executive producer Matt Groening. — Hollywood Reporter

Fans are encouraged to vote for their favorite ‘Simpsons’ character on the website and they can also pre-order the stamps and register to win a limited edition ‘Simpsons’ poster, signed by Matt Groening.
