Worldcon GoHs: How Long in the Saddle?

[beamjockey]

It has become interesting to ask the age of Professional Guests of Honor at the World Science Fiction Convention. And how long they were working in the field before the Worldcon honored them.

Thanks for gathering the data on this. I took the liberty of ripping it out and making my own graph, from which it seems clear to me that in age or career he's not even a freak for the modern Worldcon era, just a little unusual.

A lovely improvement. I like the way the data stick out, like little fibers protruding from a carpet. They're... tufty.

Tufte! I can't believe it took me three and a half weeks to get that pun! Talk about your slow burners...

Frankly, neither can I. But I was extremely fond of it, and I am very glad that you finally did.
