Postage sale on Zazzle through Sunday

Zazzle's knocking $6 off their sheets of postage until Sunday - they've got Zippy stamps from Bill Griffith. I'm looking for other licensed comics and cartoons now. They still have Disney, although you could spend your entire income on those. Two other comics - Liberty Girl, a small press comic book and 100 Covers, a webcomic from Comicmix (at least as of a couple of months ago)

The great cartoonist LAT is getting a set of postage stamps next week. This article says "said the stamps would have a variety of images related to Lat's cartoon collections -- The Kampung Boy, Home-Made Games, The Fierce Teacher and the Town Boy."

There's a variety of material to collect - "The Lat's cartoon stamp collection comprises four designs in the 50 cent denomination, and it will also include a First Day cover, miniature sheet, RM5.50 folder and a RM3 stamp booklet."

Zippy stamps?

Zippy stamps? Could it be? Well, there's Zippy postage at least. Unfortunately these things are always more expensive than they should be, but I ordered 1 set. Only 7 more to go. Hopefully Bill Griffith is getting a decent cut of the price.
