Probably, I got one too. Clearly Discworld related being based on Great Artworks Man with Dog depicting Lord Vetinari with Wuffles but rplacing Vetinari with Donald Trump and Wuffles with a skunk!

Top suspects Carole, Keith and Steve. Not necessarily  in that order Wink

Thank you to whoever sent it.

They have an interesting fine perforation. Closer to that on the DW bath neat Bath perf which in my mind suggests an old perforator rather than a modern one

Thoughts anyone?

I also have a sheet.  Great idea, and very well executed.

Interesting wording, Steve.

You "have" one and I'm sure the originator has one, or more than one, as well. Wink

Like others, I received one and am most grateful. Thank you (to whomever) for putting a 1st April smile on my face. SmileClapThumbs Up

Any chance of a nice sharp scan from someone?  

If there is a 'sport' on the sheet then I suggest that cuts down the possible perpetrators somewhat!

Are these stamps or sheets likely to be for sale?
Very probably the worst ever.

Very intriguing.  Surely no copyright problem in posting up a decent scan?  
 
The printing looks quite fuzzy to me so my guess is it's an amateur effort.

Curiouser and curiouser.

I have today received a second sheet of the same design. I am going to check whether I can see any differences between the two sheets when I have a chance later.

The most immediately intriguing thing relates to the question of "who created this?".

The first one I received was posted to me on 29th March in the UK and carries a cancellation from the Royal Mail centre near Filton, Gloucestershire which processes mail from the Bath, Bristol, Gloucester and Taunton areas using a single "Royal Mail / BA, BS, GL, TA / Mail Centre" inkjet cancellation.

Whereas the second one I received was posted to me on 1st April in the US and carries a cancellation from "Eastern Shore MD 216". I can think of a forum member both here and on the Emporium's forum who just happens to live in Maryland.

Both envelopes carry stickers with the same "Dico Dico Dico" motto of the Fools' Guild and the same flopped illustration of a fool from the April Fools Day LBE of 2006.
