Since Rush just sales Tea and kids’ Books these days, they figured Stan Lee sales more comic books than Rush’s Tea and Books combined. Maybe.

I used to read Lee’s comic books as a kid but his movies don’t interest me, seems like kid stuff.

Ironically its similar with Rush,

I actually think that’s fair. Rush shouldn’t even be on the list; labeling him as a celeb rather than a political commentator and influencer diminishes his work over the last 20+ years.

Lee? Isn’t he the guy that used to write the one-page text stories in “Marvel Mystery Comics” in the days before World War 2?

Stan Lee has been on the public scene thirty years longer than Rush has.

Ha! I just rescued a little old Maltese dog on Saturday, we named him Stan Lee after this guy because we like Big Bang Theory and those guys revere this writer of comics.

You're not alone:
Leonard: Stan Lee.

Penny: Um, Stanley, Stanley, Stanley Tucci?

Leonard: No, no, Stan Lee.

Penny: Oh, oh, Stan Lee! Cool!

Leonard: You have no idea who he is, do you?

Penny: Of course I do. You’re an important part of my life and I pay attention to the things you are interested in.

Leonard: Good, good, so, who’s Stan Lee?

Penny: Um, he was on Star Trek.

Leonard: Nope.

Penny: Star Wars?

Leonard: No.

Penny: Um, uh, Stan Lee, oh, he was in those goofy kung fu movies you love so much?

Leonard: That’s Bruce Lee.

Penny: Oh. So, is this Bruce Lee’s nerdy brother, Stan?

/The Big Bang Theory

Big Bang Theory is the only reason anyone knows Stan Lee.
