His 1970 prediction that the world would never reach 7 billion people by the year 2000 is highlighted as a significant failure of his "arithmetic." The analysis characterizes Ehrlich as a political operative rather than a scientist, specifically citing his 1972 "point of no return" as a tactic to influence presidential elections.

Crumb's comics, was self-aware and intended for adults, unlike modern "edgy" animation.
