Talk:Pat Lee

Kudos on the disambiguation gag. :D --DrSpengler 00:46, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

it says he's a Canadian artists, wouldn't the slang abbreviation "Can artist" be more effective? btw that quote was found by me I am great--Zodberg 02:37, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I missed that business. What's the full story with Alex Milne? --Ratbat 02:05, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Hey, shouldn't we have this LITG article "External links"ed from both Pat & Alex's pages? -- M Sipher

At TFcon 2007, Alex vented his heavy distaste for Pat Lee, even so much so that if they ever met again..... he then trailed off at that point (it was during the artist panel), not a happy camper thanks to the "SUPASTAR!" ProtomanXRED

Cartoon before toys?
Can anyone confirm the "He believes that the Transformers cartoon was so amazing that it was only a matter of time before the toys were made" line? It was added by an anonymous user, so I'm tempted to delete it, but I want it to be true. So... reference? - Jackpot 20:01, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I... want to say it was a pre-DW-gets-the-license interview. We should most definitely source it on this page once we track it down. --M Sipher 20:36, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * There's discussion of it on ATT from March 2001, but not an actual link to the interview. Definitely makes reference to the "cartoons first, matter-of-time" quote.  http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/search?group=alt.toys.transformers&q=Pat+Lee+matter+of+time+toys  --Thylacine 2000 20:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Which really shows the reason why Dreamwave continuity was as animation-centric as it was.--Rosicrucian 20:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

"serfdom"
I've seen on a few pages when Pat Lee is mentionned the term "serfdom" is inserted... what does it mean, exactly? --Detour 19:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * In this context, his notion that people should keep working for him merely on the promise that someday he'll pay them. Maybe.--Rosicrucian 19:55, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Kudos
1000% more informative now, Nevermore. Damned good job.--Rosicrucian 20:11, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hell, I'd nominate this for a featured article now. - Chris McFeely 20:56, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Pictures
I think we need more pictures in this article, if only to break up the text abit. How about funny photos of Lee or particularly shoddy Transformers art (assuming he drew it)? --FFN 14:11, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, maybe a few of Transformers with the gigantic feet? --MistaTee 14:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I added in the extremely short-bus robot that was his design for the Fallen before Wildman cleaned it up.--RosicrucianTalk 16:09, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the number of images is okay right now... I wouldn't want to see more than 2-3 put in at this point.  It would start getting cluttered.  --Steve-o 22:10, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Andy Wildman
What's the source for the altering of his art? We've, like, seen his pencils. They don't look any different. --ItsWalky 16:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I think he meant that Wildman made the Fallen look better than Lee's original concept. I can agree with that statement. --MistaTee 17:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but Walky is instead asking about the allegation that the inkers changed Wildman's art in The Dark Ages.--RosicrucianTalk 17:16, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * would this be an appropriate reference?  --MistaTee 17:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything that makes a good case. There's some questions asked that state the alteration as a given, and when Matt Moylan is pressed about it, he doesn't recall such a thing.  I think this is just a run-away rumor based on Wildman choosing to draw his TF hands like Figueroa's.  --ItsWalky 17:46, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Quotable
Okay, I don't know if it was a mistake or a joke, but the "they much oftener succeed thrugh failures" quote isn't actually Pat Lee's originally. A google search turned up several attributions to Samuel Smiles. --Nemesis Primal 22:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Recent activities section?
In light of recent pictures of Lee drawing on somebody's apartment wall, should we do some kind of 'Pat Lee's recent activities' section? --FFN 04:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd say not. It's fan-art.  Why do we need to mention it? --Sntint 05:28, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
