I believe that voice change goes all the way back to the radio shows from the 1940s. The producers were going to get two different guys to be Clark Kent and Superman until Bud Collyer demonstrated he could do two distinct voices.

I can’t find out anything about a “World Robinson” equal area projection, just the Robinson non-equal-area one. Is this a new projection?
