Fun stamps. Penguins are cute! The Rockhopper reminds me of the hippie penguin dude in Happy Feet (Robin Williams).
There are a lot of different kinds of penguins, aren't there?
I have the 1956 stamp, too, and I always marvel at the penguins hairstyle :)
Yay - I was sure we could count on you to provide us with some penguins this week :))
