Royal Mail salutes Discworld (2023)

[Robert Carnegie]

August 2023: isn't postage expensive these days?

For example:

I think these fancy real stamps are all painted and
Sometimes signed by Paul Kidby. Of course there
is one of the "Going Postal" man, and he comes
framed, which is odd because I thought he was
actually guilty.

(Sorry, I sent this as an e-mail because I'm still figuring T-bird out)

Yeah, these look neat. Of course, it creates a dilemma for the sort of
weirdly obsessive fan I am -- do they go in the Discworld Stamp Album
along with the Artificer's creations, or does that spoil its status as
an "in-universe artifact" since they're actually *Roundworld* stamps?
