So I was thinking about how it was a shame that some comic book characters will never make it to postage stamp stature, and I decided to whip up four examples. I also wanted to note that my Alfred E. Neuman stamp prompted quite a few correspondents to make the same joke. Here's Kim "Howard" Johnson…
I don't think we'll see the Alfred E. stamp for at least three years. George W. Bush will quash it, thinking that someone is making fun of him…
Here's Jackson Togyer…
My understanding is that the Postal Service can't issue a stamp in honor of President Bush until he passes away.
Here's Rudy Panucci…
I hate to tell you this, but I don't think the Post Office could release the stamp that you proposed in one of your recent items. Usually a person has to be deceased for ten years before their image can be used on a stamp, although an exception can be made for a former president. However, our current president is still alive, and aside from that, I don't know why Time Warner would want to put him on a stamp, anyway. NewsCorp, I could see, but not Time Warner. So your idea of a stamp feature George W. Bush just isn't appropriate. Even with the price reversed.
Alfred E. Neuman? Oh, never mind.
And so on and so on. I don't see the physical resemblance but there is a certain similarity in the "What, me worry?" attitude.
