[News] News of November

 Another month is over, so here are some News:

• As shown on the Commonwealth Stamps Opinion blog (#2196), New Zealand issued another philatelic item using this year's Lord of the Rings stamps. It is a souvenir sheet for a philatelic exhibition in conjunction with the Centenary of the Wellington Philatelic Society and uses the $4.30 and $4.50 designs from the set.
• Japan starts 2023 right with a sheet about the Peanuts. Issue date is the 11th January and there are all together ten stamps in this issue.
• A stamp about the Birth Centenary of Angela Giussani was issued in Italy on 10th November. It shows her together with her famous creation, Diabolik.
• The German stamp programme is here and while the themes are known for a year, there are now more information about some of the series. The stamps about the Childhood Heroes will show Pinocchio and Käpt'n Blaubär, while the Superheroes will be Captain Marvel and Iron Man. Those latter two I actually guessed correctly. They follow the same pattern as this year, one has its 60th anniversary (Spider-Man now, Iron Man next year) and the other is featured in a current MCU movie (Black Panther and Captain Marvel). No news are available for the Famous Video Games. You can find the complete list with all issue dates in the page above.
• On 12th January Sweden will issue a set of ten about the 50th anniversary of the pink elephant from the cartoon "Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter" (Five ants are more than four elephants).

The New Issues of November were the Christmas Pantomimes from Alderney and Guernsey, Angela Giussani from Italy and Lego from Switzerland.

To my own collection I added the Aardman FDC from the United Kingdom and the Donald Duck sheet from the Netherlands. Also I finally got the Naruto stamp from France on a card, which is still not available on WOPA. The Swiss Lego stamps are still travelling.
