French comics and matching stamps

I have received several comic cards from France and no, they are not from a same set or comic, but I grouped them into this post coz each of them comes with a matching stamp! So this time I have to scan the stamps as well… (which I usually don’t).

From Cgie36. I thought it was a bear, but Cecile wrote that he’s Cubitus from a French and Belgian comic, he is a silly dog who from time to time has very phylosophical thoughts :D On the stamp he says: “I’m the one stamp in the world which can be stroked the right way.”

From Pazzolina. This is Becassine, and I guess it’s from an old comic in France coz this stamp commemorate 100 year old of Becassine in 2005… so it means the comic has exsited since 1905.. amazing! Becassine is a very naive girl who left Brittany to work in Paris as a maid, and having alot of (mis)adventures in Paris because she’s a countrygirl and hardly manages herself in a big city. I would love to read this comic!

From Sylv1. And this is Le Chat, first appeared in 1984 in Le Soir. He is an adult, human-sized cat who often comes up with elaborate reasonings and takes metaphors literally… :D
Le Chat: ”and the human contact in all this?”
Computer: “take your elbow away from my keyboard.”

Disney

Like other kids, I used to love Disney alot. My favorite was Alice in Wonderland, and I also loved the non-Disney movie of Alice even more.. it was the most amazing movie to me at that time I wished to watch it again and again. Well these are Disney maxi postcards from USA and each has a matching stamp exactly like the postcard picture. The first came from Throatofthesea and the rest are from my dear lady Swan :)

Pinnochio and Jimmy Cricket.

Ariel and Flounder.

Mickey Mouse and Pluto.

Snow White and Dopey.

Alice and Mad Hatter. And this card reminds me of a really tragic event! Yes see the smudge of some “lost” postal mark.. I mean, it was a Malaysian mark from Johor – southern state! How on earth did my card travel there before reaching me in K.Lumpur? And some more…..which I hate to be reminded again…… this card came to me with one of the stamps missing :( someone has stolen it off the card, which I first suspected the girls from the hostel (I gave my hostel addy at that time because of my impatience to go home to see my mails!) BUT!………. on the place where there the stamps taken off, there was now a postal mark from KL!! Can you read my mind??? PEOPLE IN THE KL POST OFFICE STOLE MY STAMP!!!!!!! Oh I could scan it now and show here all the proof, as I did long time ago when I was complaining this on the Malaysian forum, but nevermind, I don’t wanna ruin my mood of blogging the cards… well I already did a bit anyways. Hmm.

Aussie maxi cards

I am tired coz of this lousy job I’m not supposed to do. Sigh, don’t want to talk about it. After 2 months I’ll be free again :) I just need some money for the time being and I have to be patient.

In the meantime I want to put some more cards in this blog. I rarely have mails these days, that’s a disaster. I just dragged myself into the tags and sending officials in past couple of weeks after the so long downtime of sending cards. With a hope that some mails are on their way to me soon as well. Yay. Okay since I haven’t put any from Australia yet, here are Australia postcards which have a significant stamp right on the picture side.

AU-8201 sent by Margaret. This is Melbourne city skyline from Southbank. Southbank was formerly an industrial area and was transformed into a densely populated suburb of high rise apartment and office buildings beginning in the early 1990s. On the stamp is Melbourne Bolte Bridge.

This is Sydney Centrepoint Tower. It’s one of the structures that you won’t see the light during the day but it comes into its own with the lights in the dark. On the stamp is St James church in Sydney.

This one is similar like above two – comes with prepaid postage and a stamp on the picture side. Only this one is rather interesting as the stamp seems to have been put on the card and got postmarked, rather than in previous two cards the stamps were actually printed on the cards. I can tell this card is trying to promote recycling. Haha. Brilliant. I got trash on mail. Even better, this is for Taking out the trash tag! LOL
