What do Beetle Bailey, Archie, Calvin, Garfield and Dennis have in common? They’re postage

Sunday funnies characters get their own stamps

WASHINGTON — Sunday funnies that have entertained Americans for decades will soon be decorating your mail.

New 44-cent stamps being released Friday will feature Beetle Bailey being yelled at by Sergeant Snorkel, Archie with Betty and Veronica, Calvin and Hobbes, the crabby tabby Garfield and the perpetual 5-year-old Dennis the Menace.

Dedication ceremonies are at the cartoon museum at Ohio State University and the stamps will go on sale nationwide.
