“This is the biggest and most adhesive honor The Simpsons has ever received,” said Matt Groening, creator and executive producer of The Simpsons.

Those look charmingly off-model compared to the streamlined versions we’ve become accustomed to, were they drawn by Groening himself?

They look like first season drawings. When the simpsons were really dysfunctional. Awesome!

Doesn’t really look like first season drawings, they at least had uniform line widths back then, just like they do now. More than anything these look like they were drawn by a complete hack, or a three year old, take your pick.

DOJ, I believe that is so no one will print these pictures out and glue them to a letter.

“More than anything these look like they were drawn by a complete hack, or a three year old, take your pick.”
Actually they look funner, more whimsical and expressive than the regular cartoon. I wish the show looked more like the stamps. I will bet you anything Groening himself is the artist.

It’s surreal to actually be completely, totally tired of these faces- and to think there was once a time when such a despiser of pop culture as myself wouldn’t paste such ‘stamp-vertisements’ with the slightest shame. Regrettably, it’s now an exercise in cocktail party thought-provocation to argue that Simpsons was once so ingeniously cutting-edge* that it stood as the only excuse for TV set signal reception. He should have bowed out with honor and actual humor with BEHIND THE LAUGHTER, which I doubt I’m alone in considering the true finale. But then MG always was a particularly contemptible douche.
*cutting-edge, not in the lazy, vulgar way with which FG now has Simpsons beat as the funnier show by far. The early-90s Simpsons would never rest its appeal on mere grossness parcel-pushing, let alone the shameless, relentless FG device of cutting away every 30 seconds with “like that time when [...].”

FG = Family Guy, and other than a few gems (stewie’s recent “Everything I Do” music video), FG is just about as unfunny as the Simpsons

@Miss Cellania – that was my thought except the line is so small, and recreating whats under it would be easy. So I thought there must be a better/other reason.

Simpsons is too busy recycling itself to bother with genuine humour.
Family Guy sucks.
Just ask Eric Cartman.

I like the cartoon but it is totally wrong to put them on a US postage stamp. And the peel and stick kind produce a mountain of trash so are not environmentally friendly. Lets go back to proper designs and no trash attached to our stamps.
