Matt Groening: This is the biggest and most adhesive honor The Simpsons ever received. James L. Brooks: We are emotionally moved by the Postal Service selecting us rather than the lazy choice of someone who has benefited society. David Failor, USPS: We are excited to celebrate The Simpsons on postage stamps. Eyebrow-raising, to say the least, this witty, well-written pop icon continues to irreverently satire its parody of a middle-class family as it lampoons American culture. The Simpsons stamps, which include known philatelist Bart Simpson, will serve as a great opportunity to interest youngsters in stamp collecting. [Bart mentioned his stamp collection in episode [1F09] Homer the Vigilante] |
