Like Tufte, Few is a well-known evangelist for clear data visualizations that yield actionable insights. Unlike Tufte, Few is more of a craftsman and less of an artist: his style is less elegant than Tufte's, but for that reason I actually find his advice has greater practical value. Tufte's graphics inspire and awe me in the same way that a Bach fugue does, but I can scarcely imagine creating anything so elegant myself. Few gives examples that I can actually emulate in my work.
PS: I have met Tufte in person, but have never met Few though I'd like to!
