2026Garfield - Miniature Sheet

PostNL will issue the Garfield frame stamps on April 27, 2026. Frame stamps are issued alongside the official program and designed based on a fixed layout, with a fixed number of stamps per sheet. Each of these 5 stamps features a different portrait of Garfield. Garfield is a character from the comic series of the same name. He is a lazy, fat, orange cat who lives with his ‘owner’ Jon Arbuckle and the always cheerful, but very stupid dog Odie. Garfield is constantly looking for food, with a strong preference for lasagna and a strong aversion to healthy food. Jon regularly forces him to go on a diet.

He is too lazy to hunt mice. At night, he likes to give noisy performances on the fence that are not appreciated by the neighbors, sleeps a lot, is sarcastic and headstrong, destroys the neighbor's garden, and bullies the dog and Jon. Another running gag in the comic is his strong dislike of Mondays. The creator, writer, and illustrator of Garfield is the American Jim Davis (1945). He named the comic strip cat after his grandfather, who in turn was named after the 20th president of the United States. Davis spent his childhood on a small cattle farm in Indiana where about 25 cats also lived.
