Maggie looks pretty angry here. And who can blame her?
After all in this collection of new US stamps, honoring The Simpsons, they’ve gone for a very simple look -and is this the best the come up with for Homer?
Maybe he’s trying to lick the stamp.
Oh well. Creator and executive producer Matt Groening joined in the occasion, saying: “This is the biggest and most adhesive honor The Simpsons has ever received.”
Executive producer James Brooks quipped: “We are emotionally moved by the Post Office Department’s selecting us rather than making the lazy choice of someone who has benefited society.”
The stamps will be available in the US on May 7.

Am I the only one who has noticed how there’s no “Matt Groening” on the stamp.. usually anything that is Simpsons related and drawn has to have that written there in Simpsons font?
Why doesn’t Maggie have a price on her stamp? Does she come free? I don’t mind the early, unpolished look, it has a certain charm. Like the Maggie one, that girl’s got attitude.
and why is Lisa (and possibly Maggie) sitting the other way round to the others I wonder?
LOL @R Cromulent indeed 🙂
I think they look good, sure Homer’s looking weird, but they’re suitably unique.
They look like a 9 year old drew them, especially because bart only has 7 spikes on his head, whereas hes meant to have 9! I know i sound nerdy, but thats what an animator said in the credits of one episode!
Must be an honour because it means The Simpsons now officially have thier faces on everything!
Actually – I read elsewhere that the images used were drawn by Matt himself. The reason why people don’t like them is they are so used to the nice and neat versions we see today.
Embiggen is a perfectly cromulent word.
they seem perfectly cromulent to me
They look very cartoonish LOL
the characters should look the same as they do in the tv show, the one of homer is just strange and doesn’t even really look like him. they almost look as if an amateur has tried to draw them.
Yuck.
There I said it.
I love them – they look like the rough original drawings done by Matt Groening himself.
