The FOX hit series The Simpsons will be commemorated on 44-cent First-Class Mail stamps in 2009. Featuring the iconic Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson the stamps have been personally designed by Simpsons creator and executive producer, Matt Groening.

Winner of 24 Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award and a multitude of other accolades, this historic series featuring the five family members is currently the longest-running primetime comedy in television history and is celebrating its 20th anniversary throughout 2009, which will culminate on January 14, 2010.

A sneak peek of The Simpsons stamps will be made available on Thursday, April 9 at 8 a.m. ET on www.usps.com. At that time, the Postal Service will announce the date the stamps go on sale and how to pre-order stamps.

The Postal Service receives about 50,000 stamp suggestions per year, yet only about 20 topics make the cut for circulation.
