USPS Honors SpongeBob with New Commemorative Stamps

Are you ready, kids? Aye, aye, Captain! The U.S. Postal Service is diving under the sea to celebrate one of television’s most beloved animated icons. In a splashy tribute to SpongeBob SquarePants, USPS has announced the release of a vibrant new set of commemorative Forever stamps featuring characters from the wildly popular Nickelodeon series.

The collection includes four unique designs that capture the quirky charm and oceanic antics of SpongeBob and his undersea pals. Two of the stamps are bold, bright yellow close-ups of SpongeBob’s instantly recognizable face, each adorned with his signature goofy grin. Another stamp brings together the colorful citizens of Bikini Bottom, including Sandy Cheeks, Patrick Star, Plankton, Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob, his pet snail Gary, and the ever-grumpy Squidward Tentacles. Rounding out the set is a whimsical image of SpongeBob and Patrick joyfully frolicking across the ocean floor, perfectly capturing their playful friendship.

These stamps are being issued as Forever stamps, which means they’ll always hold their value—equivalent to the current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate—regardless of future price changes. Perfect for fans, collectors, and anyone who grew up shouting “I’m ready!” with SpongeBob, this special release is sure to make a splash in mailboxes everywhere.

“Argh, SpongeBob! You’re spending all me money!”
