1994: Postman Pat Visits the Isle of Man (Design - Colleen Corlett)

 

Postman Pat and his black and white cat Jess are using the Green Cross Code to cross the road safety.  "Stop, look, listen, think". No sign of the Green Cross Code Man but we do have a policeman to remind them. The stamps issued with the mini sheet tells the story of Pat visiting his friend Ffinlo who takes him to well known locations on the Isle of Man.  The stop motion animation has been turned into stamps by one of Isle of Man post's popular illustrators Collen Corlett.

In the UK we have Lollipop ladies (and men but that doesn't have the allure of alliteration) who hold up their large lollipop shaped stop signs. In  Germany they are called Pupil Pilots and the stop signs on this card are a lot smaller.

1983: Children and Traffic (Design - Lilo Fromm)

An all action illustration complete with lollipop and ball is by the artist and children's book illustrator  Lilo Fromm,
