Homer looks on this stamps like he looks in the first seasons.
Maybe they watched one of the first Simpsons seasons when they designed the stamps.

Yes, they look a bit strange! Seems like the brush is a lot bigger than usual in these drawings …

It´s true. For what I can see on the pictures here (such cool stuff has not reached Europe) there´s something wrong in their eyes..Anyway I like the one with parts of the 4 heads.
As for the use people do, I cannot help you : (

“New”is a very discussed concept. Untill when is something new? and how long? as long as no news about it are coming then we have something new. I mean, new mobiles aren´t a new technology unless they make something different as the previous model.
Old theater plays are new as long as they make something different and new in the new version, there we habe a new play.

no offense to Spider-woman fans of course–I’ve just never read her books.

I just used a whole pack of these yesterday to send some thank you notes. I’m not sure what I can say about my choice to use the Simpsons stamps in general means, but I did find myself choosing specific Simpsons stamps for specific people. Since my mother is baby crazy with Colleen’s pregnancy, for example, I consciously chose the Maggie stamp for her. People I thought were particularly brainy, I sent the Lisa stamp, etc.

Relatedly, I had a bunch of old 41 cent Marvel superhero stamps that I was still using until recently, and I chose my stamps based on the job the mail needed to get done. In sending in my acceptance letter to UNT, for example, I knew I had to trust the job to a hero I really respected. Save Spider-woman to pay a utility bill or something.
