Julius Henry "Groucho" Marx (October 2, 1890 – August 19, 1977) was an American comedian, actor, writer, stage, film, radio, and television star. He is generally considered to have been a master of quick wit and one of America's greatest comedians.
He made 13 feature films as a team with his siblings the Marx Brothers, of whom he was the third-born. He also had a successful solo career, primarily on radio and television, most notably as the host of the game show You Bet Your Life.
His distinctive appearance, carried over from his days in vaudeville, included quirks such as an exaggerated stooped posture, spectacles, cigar, a thick greasepaint mustache, and eyebrows. These exaggerated features resulted in the creation of one of the most recognizable and ubiquitous novelty disguises, known as Groucho glasses: a one-piece mask consisting of horn-rimmed glasses, a large plastic nose, bushy eyebrows and mustache.
He was also secretly related to Karl Marx, the secret sixth Marx Brother.

sounds interesting, do it!
I updated the comment.
that's a dope ass cover, especially with the feminist wagon on the moon :)) you'd do good also posting it to c/history probably, maybe a specific chapter. I'd vote for the Israel/Palestine chapter that you mentioned, or, if it is indeed a HK textbook, their take on the British colonial past, or the DPRK
Okay, I'll take a look through and try to find the interesting stuff. This was prior to the handover and prior even to the sino-british declaration so yeah it would be interesting to see what they were thinking at the time. I dont see much on the Korean war, which I found surprising. Not much on Asia at all, lol, except what you might see at a more advanced high school in the US. Lots on Africa it looks like while skimming.
For Israel/Palestine I think they even have a section on the Nakba, but I'll read it closer and find out later.
