In countries like Japan and USA, they honour their cartoonist by featuring the cartoonist's characters in the stamps. For example..

DC Comics Super Heroes Stamps 2006

Doraemon!

Malaysia has taken a step forward by featuring Malaysia's most famous cartoonist, Lat, in their latest stamp. I must say I am a big fan of Lat and I am quite excited to see his stuff on the newest issue.
