New Israeli animation stamp

A correspondent in Israel sent in this note: The Israeli postal service had a new issuing today (11/20/2010). It included a stamp dedicating Israeli Animation. They issued a sheet of stamps and a commemorative booklet. Here's a link to the Hebrew (only) page of it http://www.israelpost.co.il/postboolaee.nsf/HanpakotView/4650C115FEBF583CC22577D1003744B9?opendocument. The stamp was designed by a nice Israeli artist who does all sorts of illustrations and animation named MYSH. You can find tons of stuff on his comics work in English. It's called Duck & Cover.

As you can tell from the picture, this is a very clever stamp - it's a short series of animation if you buy the whole sheet!

Afico-Man, new Israel stamp

Ofer B. comes through with another tip, and says about the above "It is a set of “Passover Hagadah” (the traditional text being read at Passover’s Eve) with a commemorative sheet and a stamp sheet of Afico-Men (a Superman-like character with Matzos in its hands)." Here's the Israeli Post website.

Israeli 2008 sheet with cartoon characters

A friend in Israel sent me the World Stamp Championship "Israel 2008" Catalog of Special Exhibition Items recently.

This page featured "My Own Stamp" Sheet with Jetix Channel heroes. I can't find it on their official website now, but some of the characters in the selvage were Totally Spies, Sonic the Hedgehog and Doraemon.
