Maybe he was hit on the head, maybe he was already dead! He might have been sad or angry, he might have been attacked by a delusional shalazangry! Dr. Seuss wanted to kill people during World War Two. He was too wimpy, of course, and this he knew. Instead he drew a bunch of pictures! He once drew a Japanese man killing the Bloated Nictures! Seuss then felt remorse for drawing a picture this gory. He made up for it by writing a stupid story! This may sound very funny, but he only wrote for the money! Dr. Seuss eventually wrote a story about the Cat in the Hat. He was so ashamed, he built Seussville just for that! With the cat locked in this prison, Seuss' true skill had risen. He wrote stories like no man before, it is he that the children came to adore. Though he wanted to take their lives, he eventually put away his knives. But then something proved to be wrong. Dr. Seuss knew he didn't have long. But those cells knew how to spread, so Dr. Seuss is now dead."@en . . . . . . . .

Geisel published 46 children's books, often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of anapestic meter. His most-celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Horton Hatches the Egg, Horton Hears a Who!, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. His works have spawned numerous adaptations, including 11 television specials, four feature films, a Broadway musical and four television series. He won the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in 1958 for Horton Hatches the Egg and again in 1961 for And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. Geisel also worked as an illustrator for advertising campaigns, most notably for Flit and Standard Oil, and as a political cartoonist for PM, a New York City newspaper. During World War II, he worked in an animation department of the United States Army, where he wrote Design for Death, a film that later won the 1947 Academy Award for Documentary Feature. He was a perfectionist in his work and would sometimes spend up to a year on a book. It was not uncommon for him to throw out 95% of his material until he settled on a theme for his book.

On the less savory side, while he opposed anti-semitism Seuss is also known for being quite racist towards Japanese in his WWII-era political cartoons (here's an example), though he later realized such work was inappropriate and felt horrible about it and was against Jim Crow, even basing one book on getting over small differences (also dedicating Horton Hears a Who to a Japanese friend). He would probably enjoy that hand-drawn, Animesque spoof in the Horton movie quite a lot! Speaking of, much of his work has been movie-fied, whether by animation or live-action. The only movie he himself made was The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T. He did collaborate with various directors (most famously, Chuck Jones) in adapting his stories for television, but again, those were TV specials, and not feature-length. When he passed away, the rights to all his stories and characters went to his widow, and no adaptations could be made unless she approved it. After the dismal adaptation of The Cat In The Hat soured her for the casting of Mike Myers (whom she was strongly against) and the adult jokes that clashed with the family friendly nature of the books, she declared that any feature Seuss adaptations will only be animated from now on. There's also Seuss Landing, a portion of Universal's Islands of Adventure, which features rides, costumed characters and other attractions based on the books. Also, he seems to be the guy who invented the word \"Nerd\". A Biopic is in development at Universal and Illumination Entertainment, with Johnny Depp tapped to play Geisel."@en . . . . .
