To commemorate the 20th anniversary of Matt Groening's iconic, animated series, The Simpsons, which recently became the longest running show on television, the U.S. Postal Service has decided to honour the series with a lickable tribute — a series of five 44¢ stamps.

The Simpsons stamps, whose artwork was created by Groening, will be previewed April 9th.

Bart Simpson is finally going to get that lickin' he so richly deserves. He and the rest of his fun and dysfunctional family will be paid tribute by the U.S. Postal Service – you read that right – which is rolling out five 44-cent stamps, in honor of primetime's longest-running comedy's 2009 20th anniversary.
