Perhaps it’s the U.S. Postal Service’s way of giving their carriers more sunny days.

This week, the Post Office announced three new stamp lines, including characters from “Sesame Street,” the classic PBS children’s show.

With images of Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Grover, Bert and Ernie, and 11 other Muppets, the stamps honor what the Post Office calls “one of the most influential and beloved” shows.

Other Muppets featured include Rosita, The Count, Oscar the Grouch, Abby Cadabby, Herry Monster, Julia, Guy Smiley, Snuffleupagus, Elmo, Telly, and Zoe. Artist Derry Noyes designed the stamps.
