2010 Sunday Funnies Strip of 5 44c Postage Stamps - MNH, OG - Sc# 4467-4471
On July 16, 2010, in Columbus, Ohio, the Postal Service issued a 44-cent, Sunday Funnies commemorative stamp in five designs by Ethel Kessler, Bethesda, Maryland. The Sunday Funnies stamp set honors five of our most beloved comic strips: Beetle Bailey, Calvin and Hobbes, Archie, Garfield, and Dennis the Menace. Art director Ethel Kessler selected the images that appear on the stamps. The Beetle Bailey stamp features Beetle, smiling calmly while Sarge loses his cool. The Calvin and Hobbes stamp captures the precocious 6-year-old and his tiger pal making scary and ridiculous faces. The Archie stamp features Archie sharing a chocolate shake with brunette Veronica Lodge on his right and blonde Betty Cooper on his left. The Garfield stamp features the crabby tabby standing back to back with Odie, a carefree, energetic dog. The Dennis the Menace stamp features 5-year-old Dennis, dressed in red overalls and striped shirt, running off to some new adventure.
These are real USPS postage stamps that are accepted by the USA Postal Service as payment for mail posted in the USA however the total rates on the stamps posted must equal or exceed the current appropriate postal mailing rate or extra postage must be paid.
