I get that the battle would be good, but I have doubts that Hussie has nearly enough name recognition (outside of people who really love or hate him) to justify putting him against one of the most famous and influential writers ever. It would just kind of seem like a waste to use the guy whose fame has lasted for a couple millenia against an internet phenomon that's probably going to be gone from pop culture entirely in maybe ten years. Not to mention that I think of Hussie as less of a writer and more of a cartoonist and general nerdom icon.

Although I do think that even in that regard, Waterson might be a somewhat better matchup for Stan Lee than Hussie. Calvin and Hobbes is one of the biggest newspaper comics ever and Stan Lee's fame and ego contrast nicely with Waterson's intense dislike of the press and desire for solitude. If nothing else, Calvin and Hobbes has name recognition that Homestuck can't even dream of now.
