Sunday Funnies

Collins Cover Announcement 

Set of Five

Available at one cover per month

In our often hectic and stressful lives, it is good to take a few moments for whimsical relaxation. One of the ways many to do so is by reading the Sunday Funnies. In this mini-set, the stamps pay tribute to five of the most famous comic strips. They are Beetle Bailey, Dennis the Menace, Garfield, Archie, and Calvin and Hobbs.

For a long time, reading the Sunday funnies has been a tradition for many. In fact, the various characters and their humorous antics have been ingrained into the American culture. My new mini-set of five is now ready and, based on the popularity of the Comic Super Heroes set of a few years ago, a fairly quick sell-out could result. It's a fun set, and I'm anxious for you to see in person the vivid hand painted cachets.

The five favorites that will be featured on these striking watercolored cachets are Beetle Bailey, Dennis the Menace, Garfield, Calvin and Hobbes, and Archie. A look at the illustrations will give you an idea as to the quality of the set but cannot do justice to the actual hand painted cachets. They will bring nice splashes of color and fun to your collection.

The first one I'll be sending out is Beetle Bailey. As is my long-time policy, all orders will be accepted on a first-come/first-served basis. In order to avoid disappointment, please respond in a timely manner. Down the road in the years ahead, I'm sure that this set will be actively sought in the hobby. I'm pleased to offer the first one — the lovable Beetle Bailey.

Each and every envelope is individually hand painted, making these cachets the absolute best of any produced for this issue. The detail is amazing, and all of the cachets are miniature works of art created by many careful brush strokes.
