2020 USPS Bugs Bunny 80Th Anniversary Forever Stamps 100Pcs/Pack

The USPS issued these stamps to celebrate Bugs Bunny’s 80th birthday. Best known for his impeccable impersonations and his masterful masquerades, the 10 designs on this pane showcase a costumed Bugs Bunny in some of his most memorable getups. Born of a team of young animators who produced Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons, Bugs’ name came from one of those early cartoonists; “Bugs” and “Bugsy” were trendy nicknames at the time, signifying a crazed or wacky disposition. Since his debut in the short-subject cartoon “A Wild Hare” in 1940, generations of audiences have cheered Bugs’ gleeful gusto, quick wit and endless clever resourcefulness. In addition to the stamps, 80 new eleven-minute Looney Tunes Cartoons adapted for present-day audiences from classic storylines will be aired on HBO Max. The stamps and the reverse of the pane were created especially for this issue by Warner Bros. animation artists.
