Some famous characters from Japan:
 |
| Doraemon in the Bamboo Thicket 20 May 2020 |
 |
| Magikarp, a Pokémon species 7 July 2021 |
I think the Japanese really love comics and cartoon stamps. They issue a lot, even from foreign illustrators and characters:
 |
| Girl Playing Harp, a Dick Bruna design 21 July 2000 |
 |
| Mymble, a Tove Jansson character 1 August 2018 |
I have received also Moomin stamps from Finland, like this*:

| 6 May 2009 |
And now, let's see a couple of funny British cartoons:

| 4:55 P.M., by Charles Barsotti The cheque in the post, by Jack Ziegler 26 February 1996 |
Go to Sunday Stamps to see more cartoons and illustrations on stamps!

There's some great stamps in that "Don't Ring" issue! I should have that stamp booklet somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI've got only these, but I've seen the rest on the net. They are all brilliant!
DeleteI think you're right about the Japanese love of cartoons and, of course, anime and manga.
ReplyDeleteI'll now look up the rest of that Btitish series
I haven't seen any of these before.
Glad to show you something new!
DeleteJapanese love of cuteness is a joy. I visited the Utrecht Museum where they have installed what was Dick Bruna's studio. One of the staff said he used to walk past most days and give them a wave.
ReplyDeleteNow I need to visit that museum! I'm very fond of Dick Bruna, thanks to a Dutch friend, mostly.
DeleteGreat fun - I have not seen any of these before.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit & comment!
