If Kirby built the room, Stan Lee opened the door and told you to come in. I painted him smiling, because that is how he is remembered, in the same blue key as his partner and in a shirt patterned with the circled four. The rule around this one is orange rather than yellow, and his years run beneath the portrait, 1922 to 2018. Excelsior was his sign-off and his instruction at the same time. It still reads as both.
