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.

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

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

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 [...]."

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. “More than anything these look like they were drawn by a complete hack, or a three year old, take your pick.”
