[News] News of June

June brought some interesting News and I could not wait to write about them, so here they are:

  • I have seen the Polish stamp programme for 2023 and it includes a stamp about Koziołek Matołek in June. This popular Polish comic was first published in 1933, so it celebrates its 90th anniversary next year.
  • This year's Dutch Kinderpostzegels can be seen online. They feature Donald Duck together with other popular characters from the franchise like Scrooge McDuck, Chip, Dale, Huey, Dewey and Louie.
  • The issue date of the US Peanuts stamps was announced to be the 30th September. In addition also a set of four Buzz Lightyear stamps was revealed with a release date on 3rd August.
  • The Lego stamp returned to the Austrian stamp programme. Issue date is now the 16th September and it will be a single national letter rate stamp.
  • The Lord of the Rings stamps that were supposed to be released by New Zealand Post on 1st June were not issued yet. Last year the set was announced for 2nd June and released on 1st September, so we might expect the same again, but there are no official news yet.
The only thematic issue of June were the Singapore Mascots.

I have not added much to my collection this month, but I finally uploaded most of the additions of the last months.
