It is a cool and sunny morning in the American Midwest, and time for Sunday Stamps.
The them today is Mustaches. I have a stamp and surrounding material I last shared in 2014:
Sent to me by a Postcrosser form France. Benjamin Rabier is associated with the Laughing Cow, and here is part of his Wikipedia entry:
Benjamin Rabier (1864–1939) was a French illustrator, comic book artist and animator. He became famous for creating the logo for Laughing Cow Cheese (La vache qui rit), and is one of the precursors of animal comics. His work has inspired many other artists, notably Hergé and Edmond-François Calvo.
A native of La Roche-sur-Yon, Vendée, Rabier started to work as an illustrator for various newspapers after meeting political cartoonist Caran d'Ache. His first album for children was the story of Tintin-Lutin, published in 1898, which told of a young lutin or "imp"; here his main characters are human and not animals, as they came to be in later albums. His most famous creations are Gideon the duck and the characters he drew for Le roman de Renart.
Fun!
Have a good week, everybody.

I love that the Laughing Cow wasn't created by some corporate identity. He sounds like he may have been a fun guy.
Awesome stamp! and cute squirrel.
The Laughing Cow is an iconic logo that I don't think they would ever dare to change, clever illustrator. So curious about the mini sheet I had to have a google, its very cute.
I had no idea that Laughing Cow had such a pedigree!
Being a big fan of the Laughing Cow... And I had forgotten the name of this important man!
