Can't think of a witty title for this thread.

"You da man..."

 

"No...you're the man..."

 

"No...you da man..."

 

"No...you're the man..."

 

 

yada...yada...yada...

I wonder what all the guffawing is about.

 

Some marvelously mangled metaphoric Bush-ism, no doubt.

 

Seriously, it had to be some sort of comic book joke.

 

Lee: "Thank-you, Mr. President."

 

Bush: "Comic books. Sheesh. Who'd've thunk it. I, actually, used to read Richie Rich. Did you write that?"

 

Lee: "?!"

 

Both: "Haw-haw-haw-haw-haw"

 

 

Or maybe . . .

 

Bush: "I have super-powers, too, y'know."

 

Lee: "Really, Mr. President? What are they?"

 

Bush: "I can (insert punchline not involving politics.)"

 

(Cloud the minds of my fellow Americans. Like The Shadow.)

 

(I got elected President. Not only once, but twice.

Could Captain America do that? I don't think so.")

step one- write comic books.

 

step two-become famous.

 

step three- stay alive a really, really long time and take on the airs of an unassuming grandfather.

 

step four- get accolades while still alive.

 

step five- get close to "the button".

 

step six- take over the world, Marvel style.

 

 

 

 

 

Excelsior, Stan!

Who's "Spiderman"...?

That has been the progression. The novelty has worn off on seeing him in every movie.

I also love Stan's toupee. Just like Hef's...it actually looks like thinning hair. That's definitely the way I'm going when it's time for my rug in another few years...

I say it in fun. I'm a huge Marvel zombie, and that affection certainly extends to Stan, the Man.

 

 

I get the Kirby beef. I get that he made mistakes editorially and artistically, but I do have great admiration for Stan Lee.

 

I say put him in every movie, not just Marvel ones.

Really? I never knew it was a rug!

Really? I never knew it was a rug!

 

The man's been bald since about 1947.

I ain't that bright.

I was exaggerating, but it has been a long time.

 

What am I doing posting about Stan Lee's toup; I almost sound like a fanboy.

Not all rugs were in good taste...

 

 

 

 

And pictures of Stan without any "help" aren't easy to find

Who's "Spiderman"...?

 

Come on, we know he crawls in bed with his Spideys and reads by flashlight under the covers

If I remember correctly, there's also one photo of "balding Stan" in one of the Gerber Photo-Journals, but I don't have it nearby.
