While the box is imaginary, it is outlined here for the benefit of the viewer.
Being a French mime has its perks, but don’t think that because it is just a cartoon, he doesn’t smell funny.

I forget who suggested this Lee, but when I was done with it I realized it wasn’t funny or exciting.
It was just Lee (accuratelee) dressed as a doctor.

Kind of like when they make Pez Dispensers of Fire Fighters and not the Tasmanian Devil with a Cycling Helmet on. Just boring. I added the bloody saw to give it something more, but then hated it.
Sorry I wasted your time.

There were some questions regarding the sending of Lees over the company email here at MetLife so as not to upset big brother, a company approved Lee was created.
Just to be clear, the Peanuts gang is not an actual gang.

A variation on the above, this Lee was created after I received feedback that Lee would be more Kabuki-like with a folding fan.

This was inspired by the classic Alvin and the Chipmunks episode where the gang disguises themselves as Kabuki dancers to escape some kind of danger.
By the way, I have know reason for remembering something like this.

This was the first Lee created from my current Boston office.
We’ll call this the ”Quality Skin Tone” period for the Lees.
And yes, that is exactly the way an elbow bends.

So get this: Lee himself doesn’t show up to work the day after Thanksgiving for just about the first time anyone can recall.
We didn’t know if he thought we were closed or what.
I started telling people that he stayed home to watch a Who’s the Boss Marathon because he has a Danny Pintauro like crush on Danza and this Lee proved it.
People liked this one so much that it couldn’t be topped and there were no more Lees for over two months…

Here is where I stopped getting suggestions and had to think for myself.
Good thing too, this was a very popular Lee for its time.
Pay attention because that same kid makes some appearances in later Lees…

This Lee didn’t reach its full potential.
It embarrasses me.
He doesn’t even have short sleeves.

This Lee was created as the result of two different suggestions.
Alone, Sumo Lee or Santa Lee are not as great as their potential when combined.

This combined potential idea was used later in the ‘Mismatched Occupations Series’ of Season 2
