The First Day of Issue ceremony for the US Postal Service Love stamp took place in New York City on January 30, 1986, in time for Valentine's Day mailings. The 22c stamp, which was designed by Saul Mandel, depicts a childlike drawing of a puppy. According to the First Day Ceremony Program, the event featured "Musical Selections" performed by Jim Henson and Rowlf the Dog. Many different cacheted First Day Covers were created for this stamp, including one illustrated by Guy Gilchrist and portraying Rowlf dressed as a USPS window clerk.
