With four appealing motifs, this German series of 2011 special stamps, sold to benefit welfare work, display famous scenes from Loriot’s skits, including “Das Frühstücksei” (The Breakfast Egg), “Herren im Bad” (Men in the Bathtub), “Der sprechen-de Hund” (The Talking Dog) and “Auf der Rennbahn” (At the Track). To lend the stamps a unified appearance, the illustrations are set against a sky-blue background. The stamp’s value, plus the donation amount, is displayed in a highly unobtrusive manner so as to not impair the humorous picture language. A discreet lower caption refers to the welfare work.
