IF ...remedy

Would you, could you,
in a book?
Rhyme it, time it,
like a kook?
Dr. Seuss came on the scene in the the 1950s with a remedy for illiteracy ~and his special brand of book learning made reading more palatable to children than it had ever been.
I do so like
small word flimflam!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Seuss-I-am!

  1. Great Caricature...Maybe it was his name Seuss which inspired him to help remedy illiteracy. Whilst searching for him today after seeing your drawing, I discovered I had always pronounced his name incorrectly as rhyming with juice and not voice.

  2. I sure do like your Seuss a lot.
    Perhaps much more than Camelot.
    I will eat green eggs and spam.
    With deli mustard; hold the ham.
    I would eat them on a boat.
    Sitting high upon a goat.
    Would you, could you, draw some more?
    Such delights you have in store.

  5. You know it really looks the great Seuss, and that is very impressive considering the liberties that you have taken. The hand is nicely done and the glasses define he mans character nicely.

  7. My heart became lighter and healed a bit on seeing your remedy. The stripes in the face make the mixture just right.

  8. You morphed a Seuss
    into a Hat
    & I am quite
    impressed by that!
