From Block Club Chicago:
CHICAGO — What’s older than the Declaration of Independence? Believe it or not: the United States Postal Service.
The organization now known as the USPS was established in July 1775 — one year before the 13 original colonies declared themselves to be their own nation. This week, the agency celebrates its semiquincentennial with a creative new stamp design featuring artwork by local cartoonist extraordinaire Chris Ware.
The stamps will be released Wednesday, along with a 32-page prestige booklet to commemorate the USPS’ 250 years of service.
The postal service noted in a statement that Ware created the stamp
artwork and co-designed the pane with Antonio Alcalá, an art director
for USPS

I literally can't remember the last time I bought stamps... I guess that changes now!
