Almost simultaneously, two separate followers of this site send me this graphic with a quote attributed to Stan Lee and asked me if he'd really said it. Apparently, this quote and the graphic have been going around the Internet for some time but escaped my gaze until the other day…
Here's my answer: I don't know if he ever said it but I know someone who did…me. In fact, with the word "tits" in place of "boobs" and in reference to the question of whether Marvel Comics on TV would ever replace Marvel Comics on paper, I said it to Stan over lunch one day.
That's my joke…or at least, I think it's my joke. Every so often, you make one up and later discover that someone else made it up first…and maybe it's a coincidence or maybe you even heard it without recalling that you did. Even if Stan got it from me, he may not have realized it. But of course, I'm not sure he ever said it. Does anyone have proof he did?
