"The blend of humor, wit, and absurdity in the Nickelodeon animated series 'SpongeBob SquarePants' created by Stephen Hillenburg has made it one of the most beloved television shows of the 21st century," the USPS said in a press release, adding: "Each episode features the perpetually optimistic and generous main character SpongeBob SquarePants as he embarks on adventures in Bikini Bottom with a colorful cast of characters. These stamps will amuse and delight their recipients, whether your card or letter is addressed to a house across town — or a pineapple under the sea."
Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed the SpongeBob stamps, with artwork provided by Nickelodeon.

Nickelodeon previously partnered with the USPS to launch the SpongeBob MailPants letter-writing program during winter 2013/4, in which SpongeBob helped kids discover the fun of writing, sending and receiving mail during holiday season. Kids were able to pick up special postage-paid, customized SpongeBob postcards at Post Office locations nationwide to connect with their loved ones using the U.S. Postal Service. In addition to the postcards, 30 mailboxes were wrapped in a custom SpongeBob design, adding a blast of color and comedy to sidewalks across the U.S. that winter.
In addition to the SpongeBob stamps, the U.S. Postal Service has also announced plans to release a set of stamps inspired by the iconic children's book, Goodnight Moon, later this year.

"First published in 1947, 'Goodnight Moon' remains a favorite bedtime story for families everywhere. By celebrating everyday rituals rather than fantasy, this iconic picture book revolutionized children’s publishing," the USPS said in a statement. "The pane of 16 stamps features eight images from the book, which was illustrated by Clement Hurd and written by Margaret Wise Brown. Derry Noyes, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps."
