Hi Annette:
Joan Chrisler from Connecticut College presented an address at the
1997 EPA conference on "Rat runners and Shrinks: Images of psychologists
in popular culture". Part of her talk involved showing cartoons, and
believe she had a certain reputation around campus for her cartoon
collection. She might be a great contact person.
BTW: Speaking of pop culture, people teaching perception (or covering
perception in intro) might want to note that the cover of Danielle
Steele's new book "Mirror Image" has Rubin's vase-faces stimulus.
