Stamps issued in 2024. The puppet film series Mekk Elek the Jack of All Trades was first broadcast on the Hungarian state television channel MTV in 1974 and the series ran until 1975. The protagonist is Elek Mekk, a goat who advertises himself as a handyman. His house is adorned with 13 trade signs, showing the jobs that he is skilled at. He then makes a mess of the jobs he is given one after another and sometimes even causes damage while doing them (Read more).

2024 & 2025 stamps. The puppet film series The Adventures of Mirr-Murr the Tomcat was completed in 1975. The puppet series, a sequel to The Adventures of Little Donkey (on the stamp). Read more.

The stamps arrived on this envelope sent by Micu (Hungary), and I thought they fit in today's Sunday Stamps theme: Children's Stories.
