The US Postal Service revealed Thursday five first-class stamps featuring characters from the Fox animated series "The Simpsons".

The portraits of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie will be released for trade in post offices May 7. The longest running prime-time sitcom, was chosen from about 50 000 stamp subject suggestions submitted in 2008, the Postal Service said. The show is a cultural phenomenon, recognizable throughout the world, the USPS press office said.

"This is the biggest and most adhesive honor 'The Simpsons' has ever received," creator of the TV show, Matt Groening, said.

"We are emotionally moved by the Postal Service selecting us rather than making the lazy choice of someone who has benefited society", "Simpsons" producer, James L. Brooks, said.

The new stamps can be seen and pre-ordered at USPS.com
