I stopped in looking for clues. I too have received one of these, although mine seems to have a naughty sport in the upper left, a spray of yellow drops. Mine was posted from the UK.

Just to add that the sheet I received from the US was accompanied by a printed "information" sheet with the following text.
For the Year of the Incontrovertible Skunk, To Disclose one of the Greatest Fools of History, An illegitimate Discworld Emberella. Man With Skunk (the Skunky Trump) 1st of a Series (maybe) Produced in Collusion with a Witch Hunt DICO DICO DICO

I'm very flattered tbe mentioned in such exalted company but it wasn't me. And I have received nothing in the post; that makes me doubly innocent! Keith

Here is the original Discworld stamp shown as the common and the sport. For those not in the know, Discworld stamps are produced with a, rare, deliberate error known as a sport. Chasing these sports is, perhaps, the secret of their success.
The original Discworld versions are smaller than the parodies.

Thank you Daniel. Is anyone going to confess designing these stamps? Does anyone want to sell me some please?! I would prefer them to come from the manufacturers but if anyone wants to sell theirs I guarantee total discretion.
