Day 140: Theodor Seuss Geisel was a profound influence upon a young Crow who grew up reading his shorts when they appeared in "LOOK" magazine. His wacky manipulations of words affected me more strongly than his off-beat cartoons because even as a child, my fascination with language was already quite apparent. Today, upon the anniversary of this great man's birth, I would like to pay tribute to Dr. Seuss. You see in this image an obscure collection of his early works, and a personal letter to me from the great man himself, typed on his very own manual typewriter. It is one of my most treasured keepsakes.
Theodor Seuss Geisel - March 2, 1904 to September 24, 1991
Thank you, sir, for all those remarkable words!
