Before his worldwide fame as a bestselling children's author, Theodor Seuss Geisel was a prolific writer and cartoonist for humor magazines of the early twentieth century. The creator of <i>Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, </i> <i>Horton Hears a Who, </i> and other classics wrote and drew comic features for publications such as <i>Judge, Life, College Humor, </i> and <i>Liberty. </i>This entertaining compilation of items from the Doctor's early and often overlooked career offers a captivating blend of visual hilarity, nonsense language, and absurdist humor.<br>Articles and essays abounding in literary surrealism include "memoirs" of spying on General Grant during the Civil War and visiting England on a daily budget of 90 cents. Seuss investigates the origins of contract bridge (played by Druids armed with croquet mallets), explains how to eject a cow from your apartment, and presents charts with helpful pointers, including "How to Punish Your Offspring Scientifically." With their humorous commentaries on people and googly-eyed animals, these cartoon essays and fantasies offer delightful views of reality as seen in the Seussian fun-house mirror.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Dr Seuss<br><b>Publisher:</b> Dover Publications<br><b>Published:</b> 12/19/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 143<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.89lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.36h x 8.24w x 0.47d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780486498461<br><b>Age Range:</b> 12-NA<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>American writer T
