| Portrait of "Dr. Seuss" [Ted Geisel] by Everett Raymond Kinstler |
Dreamer or cynic? Grandfather or grinch? It seems that Dr. Seuss was all of these things and more. A complex, talented and passionate man who struggled to remain hopeful in spite of the "dissemination of stupidity" he saw all around him.

Above all, Dr. Seuss and his work were intrinsically political. A self-proclaimed master of "logical insanity," the author of such fanciful tales as Green Eggs and Ham and The Cat in the Hat.

He devoted much of his considerable talent and influence to advocating political and social change. From condemning isolationism and attacking anti-Semitism to his later works for literacy, the environment, and against the arms race.
Dr. Seuss’s most popular works reflect his passion for fairness, democracy and tolerance.
“Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!”
He most definitely is our favorite subversive. Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!
