A Very Odd Stamp
During a recent trip to the post office, I asked for two books of stamps. The attendant asked which stamp design I wanted, and I said it didn’t matter, assuming that she would just hand me two of the small packs with the American flag. (Nothing wrong with that!)
Instead, this attendant decided to give me a bit of variety and handed me two sheets. The first saluted Dr. Seuss, and featured a portrait of Theodor Seuss Geisel surrounded by some of his odd characters.
The second design is what you see pictured to the left. It salutes R. Buckminster Fuller, an architect, inventer, designer and philosopher. Fuller, as you might guess from the stamp, is famous as being the father of the geodesic dome. It’s an interesting stamp, but just look at the way they depicted him for a minute. Is it just me, or is that giant head just a little disturbing?
