Piggyback blogging

I was just over at Johnbai's blog, checking out and responding to his recent acquisition of the comics superhero stamps. I wanted to report that while these new stamps may be the first superhero stamps, they are not the first comics stamps. I dug this out of my file cabinet:



This is the comic strip special issue that came out some years ago - whenever first class mail was thirty-two cents, obviously. Some beautiful art and history in this one, too. I got me a set, color-photocopied it (I don't think I had a scanner then), and used the stanps to mail letters.

I haven't picked up the new set yet, but when I do, I'll likely do the same thing.
