My Dentist sends out bills with commic stamps. He even sends out comic post cards, "Don't be a chicken. Chicken don't have any teeth! Your appointment is _____________________."
I liked the comic strip ones and there were some posted at our post office. They post (behind locked glass) the ones they have onhand. Others you may have to order. I wish I had had $ when they were stocking the superhero ones. I also got some forever stamps, the new winter ones have a variety of evergreen branches, many with seed cones and some look like they have juniper berries.
So what are the pictures on your stamps? I don't use snail mail much, but I do have a few friends and relatives who don't have computers. Besides, some of them still like old fashioned Christmas card giving.
Stamps are one thing that many countries have. At one point, we had a lot of stamps from Canada. Do you collect stamps? Do you have any first day ones or foreign ones? My Mom gave me a stamp collecting kit at one point, but I didn't do much with it. I wish I had.

The fun ones are from other countries, at least I think there are. I wish my husband had kept the Korean ones from when he was in Korea.

I don't collect stamps. I did for a while when I was younger. I love the old fashioned ones and the cards. My grandmother used to save everything. She would cut parts of the cards and save them for tags. I still remember when stamps were only 5cents.

I think stamps will become more and more valuable as time goes on. Since people are buying fewer and fewer of them. So it might be a good idea to get back into that old hobbie.
Thanks and take care.
