Honestly, it's a treasure trove of Trek goodness.

In this article, we investigate a section of The Mismeasure of Man in which Gould evaluated the Army Beta intelligence test for illiterate American draftees in World War I. To show the potential consequences of this, Gould used examples from the early days of psychometrics and allied fields, arguing that inappropriate assumptions and an elitist desire to rank individuals and/or groups produced incorrect results. ![]() In The Mismeasure of Man, Stephen Jay Gould argued that the preconceived beliefs and biases of scientists influence their methods and conclusions. ![]() ![]() In this book he was going for a more subtle approach. ![]() ![]() It's actually less consistently violent than other books of his like The Woods Are Dark or After Midnight (both phenomenal).

He also created the satirical graphic novel 'Tantrum' (1979) and the 'Kill My Mother' (2014-2018) trilogy, a pastiche of detective noir. Voicing his strong personal opinions about political and social matters through his characters, Feiffer opened doors for many other alternative cartoonists. His characters openly discussed relationships, sex, depression, family troubles, current events and existential angst. He effectively used his comic strip as an editorial column. His comic series 'Feiffer' (1956-1997) broke new ground by tackling taboos other cartoonists did not address. Feiffer, however, made his strongest impact as an editorial cartoonist. He started his career co-writing episodes of Will Eisner's 'The Spirit' (1940-1952) and creating his own gag comic 'Clifford' (1949-1951). Jules Feiffer is widely regarded as one of the most famous and influential American satirists of the 20th century. Cartoon starring Feiffer's famous dancer. ![]() |
