The United States Postal Service used to produce simple stamps for a simpler time. The current USPS regime has decided to "engage" postal service users by creating groovy, somewhat celebrity-driven stamps.

According to a Washington Post article, the cherished dead who will appear opposite lickable stamp surfaces include Steve Jobs, Jimi Hendrix, and Johnny Carson. I like the idea of placing these figures on some "forever" postage stamps, although I'm trying to imagine any of the three actually mailing a letter.
