USPS in 1995 issued a series of stamps entitled "Comic Strip Classics" to honor the centennial of the newspaper comic strip. The 20 stamps all are listed in the Scott catalogue as No. 3000 for a pane and 3000a through 3000t for the individual stamps. The stamps were printed on both sides: comic strip illustrations of the front; text about each strip on the reverse side.
The series was restricted to strips created before 1950, and the series featured drawings of comic-strip characters with their logos. The stamps were arranged in five tiers with four stamps to a tier. The featured strips are listed here in the sequence as published:
