Good day, and welcome to my blog.
It is a warm sunny day in the American Midwest. We really need some rain.
We are up to the letter "H" in the tour of the alphabet. Here is a British stamp celebrating Edmund Halley:
Edmund Halley (1656 - 1742) was an English astronomer, mathematician and physicist. He is remembered most, I suspect, for computing the orbit of a bright comet, and predicting its return. This comet is known as Halley's comet now. This illustration is a mash-up of Halley's face and the comet. I am not sure it's successful.

What a beautiful stamp! Nice information. (Love your final comment of Halley's paragraph! :-))
Yes its the cartoonist Ralph Steadman he tends to do what I can only describe as scratchy, sometimes grotesque, caricatures.
It is a strange illustration, but I like the theme.
