Was he ugly? Or did he have a poor portrait artist? ;)

Poor artist. If he had access to an AI image generator back then instead, I'm sure he'd proudly put this on his LinkedIn profile:

Nice puzzle.

I remember reading an illustrated kids' science book and, for no reason at all, coining the nickname "Ugly Gugly" for Guglielmo Marconi. I was, as with the recent puzzles on here, five at the time. Later on when I googled pictures of him, he didn't seem very ugly at all. But the phrase still makes me laugh.

That link didn't work for me, but I'm sure he was more focused on his work than his looks. The guy was a genius.

My son said I didn't give him enough forehead. How's this?

I think it looks closer to the actual person. Good job.

and if he didn't have a hyperactive thyroid, I'll eat my hat.

anyone remember Marty Feldman? Don Knotts?

I've seen uglier ;-)

Kaytris, I thought the same. To be precise, Graves' Disease, the most common but not the only cause of hyperthyroidism.
