Popular animation characters of “Larva” are displayed on stamps.
The Korea Post in Busan Thursday unveiled a special set of stamps featuring the pair of red and yellow slugs. It has been introducing a series of stamp sets since 2011 featuring local animation characters.
The characters of “Larva” are featured on its fourth, following “Pororo,” “Pucca” and “Robocar Poli.”
A total of 10 kinds of stamps have the two main characters Yellow and Red, and their bug friends. Additional stickers for decoration are also included in the set.
First appearing in 2011 on national network KBS and cable TV, the short, slapstick episodes have become one of the most popular 3D cartoons on television. They are refreshing the Korean animation scene, which has been overflowing with children’s cartoons without works adults might appreciate.
The animation has been broadcast in 97 countries.
