Kevin Smith may have been asked to leave a Southwest Airlines flight out of Burbank over the weekend, but Stan Lee will sit next to him any day. The comics legend who made a famous cameo in "Mallrats" spoke up in defense of the director and occasional Marvel Comics writer. Others in the feed remained suspicious, though, such as Lea Hernandez, who suspects there may be a publicity stunt at work.
Across the country, toymakers convened on New York City for Toy Fair, and Todd McFarlane was among them. Find out what he got up to there, as well as which comics creator had a run-in with Taylor Lautner, who performed with Grant Morrison and who likes listening to Lady Gaga with his daughter.
It's all in the Twitter Report for February 17, 2010.
Kevin Smith pt. 1: @smilinstanlee Can't understand that airlines bit. My friend Kevin isn't paper thin, but he certainly isn't fat! I'd sit next to him on a plane any time!

Kevin Smith pt. 2: @Lea_Hernandez Who else thinks the Sothwest/Kevin Smith thing is a stunt of some kind?
-Lea Hernandez, Writer/Artist ("Rumble Girls," "Killer Princesses")
@Todd_McFarlane TOY FAIR: Still in New York showing off our 2010 product. Met with MLB, NHL, TARGET, Toys R Us, Sony, Paramount, MTV and many others. TODD

@chris_ryall Somehow, hearing people call fake-Locke "Mocke" works for me in ways that calling clone-Thor "Clor" never will.
-Chris Ryall, Publisher (IDW)
@Southworth Just stood two feet from Taylor Lautner. I think one of his abs winked at me.
-Paul Southworth, Writer/Artist ("Ugly Hill")
@DaveMcKean Just about shaken off jetlag. Enjoyed acting with Grant Morisson in @centuryguild's Pirate Girl audio, although won't be giving up day job.
-Dave McKean, Writer/Artist ("The Sandman," "Cages")
@DanielKWay Finishing Origins 48 script today. Tomorrow, begin scripting new super-secret Marvel project.
