PIZZAQ: What the heck is going on here?

Oh yeah, click for larger.

I have received several inquiries regarding this PizzaQ image, and should explain that it came into our possession as the illustration on one of the very rare postage stamps ever seen outside its originating postal authority, Planet Mollyringwald. Mollyringwald is the most reclusive, closed, secretive, xenophobic, isolationist planet in the Dwingeloo-2 Galaxy. It makes North Korea seem like a 4th of July Kiwanis Club picnic. We know next to nothing about it or its inhabitants, but there is a strong belief among Vleeptron's exobiologists that it is populated exclusively by females.

(In
The Journal of Dwingeloonic Studies, J. Guillam points out that unless such a society is intentionally self-extincting, like the Shaker religious community in North America, it probably has at least one male, whose name might be Scott or Todd or maybe Mark.)

This postage stamp was accidentally or illegally transmitted off Mollyringwald in 22400739 (roughly Earth Year 1994 AD), affixed to the upper right corner of a postcard that said only:

Miss You

What on earth is going on here???

I'll need a full, unambiguous explanation. 3 names of people, and 1 species designation, would be nice.

I'm not sure, my memories of the '60s are pretty fuzzy, but I think I was at this Halloween party in Takoma Park, Maryland, or something a lot like it.
