It's the second U.S. stamp featuring cartoon personalities; the first came last May with the release of the Bugs Bunny stamp.

The Bugs stamp became one of the top 10 commemoratives issued by the Postal Service postal service, arrangements made by a government for the transmission of letters, packages, and periodicals, and for related services. Early courier systems for government use were organized in the Persian Empire under Cyrus, in the Roman Empire, and in medieval  with 378 million printed, in addition to an extensive merchandising campaign licensed by Burbank-based Warner Bros. with 84 items such as coffee mugs, T-shirts and ties. Traditionalists complained the stamp violated rules against honoring commercial enterprises while defenders said Bugs was an indelible part of American culture.

Postal Service spokesman Barry Ziehl said the Sylvester-Tweety stamp will be accompanied by an array of merchandise similar to the Bugs campaign. ``The Bugs items are still selling well,'' he said.

A spokeswoman for the Warner Bros. consumer products arm said it was likely that the Postal Service will issue an additional five or six Looney Tunes stamps on an annual basis, but Ziehl said there are no firm plans beyond 1998.
