BOOBIE BIRD COURIER MAIL

The Kingdom of Delphys is a large island nation to the south of the Continent of Amphora. The mail seen here represents the first 'air mail' delivery used on the island. The Isle of Buto to the north of Delphys is home of a number of Boobie Bird Courier Services. 

The first two covers on this blog post show samples of Blythe's Boobie Post, a semi-official courier service that functions all across the Amphoran main.

Seen on this cover is the Delphysian 'Duck Ship' cancellation. The Delphysian stamps seen here are ones created originally in 2003 in laser editions with die cut perforations. The Boobie Bird stamps are actually cyberstamps. The entirety of the cover is a cyber edition, which I refer to as 'Cybermail Art.'

BUTUNIA LOCO POST BOOBIE BIRD COURIER MAIL

Butunia, an autonomous region in the southwest of the Isle of Buto is one of the regions involved in the Loco Post Rebellion which started in Boobville in Buttonia, another autonomous region to the east. 

Sooze M'grew, a beachcomber who lives in a cave near Moss Island Beach, here writes a missive to the postmistress of Fortuni in Delphys, hoping to acquire an interest in the Butunian Boobie Service. an outfit that competes with Blythe, who is in alliance with the central government  of Buto in Templetown to the north.
