'''Theodor Seuss Geisel''' ([[2 Maret]] [[1904]] – [[24 September]] [[1991]]), yang lebih dikenal dengan [[nama pena]]nya, '''Dr. Seuss''', adalah seorang [[pengarang]] dan [[kartunis]] [[Amerika Serikat|Amerika]] yang paling dikenal karena [[buku anak-anak]]nya, khususnya ''[[The Cat in the Hat]]''. Ia juga menulis dengan nama pena yang lain, yaitu '''Theo. LeSieg''' dan '''Rosetta Stone'''.
<!--==Life and work==
Geisel was born on March 2, 1904 in [[Springfield, Massachusetts]]. He grew up at 74 Fairfield Street, an ideal location for a youngster, as it was only six blocks from the zoo where his father worked and three blocks from the library. He graduated from [[Dartmouth College]] in [[1925]], where he was a member of [[Sigma Phi Epsilon]], the Casque & Gauntlet Society, and wrote for the ''[[Dartmouth Jack-O-Lantern]]'' humor magazine.
Even at this early stage, Geisel had started using the pen name "Dr. Seuss," as well as his own name. His first work signed as "Dr. Seuss" appeared six months into his work for Judge. Seuss was his mother's maiden name; as an immigrant from Germany, she would have pronounced it more or less as "zoice" (as it is pronounced in German). According to Alexander Liang, who served with Geisel on the staff of the Jack O' Lantern, and was later a professor at Dartmouth:
:You're wrong as the deuce
:And you shouldn't rejoice
:If you're calling him Seuss.
:He pronounces it Soice.
Today, however, the name is universally pronounced in English with an initial ''s'' sound and rhyming with "juice".<ref>http://german.about.com/library/weekly/aa020401b.htm</ref> Geisel also used the pen name '''Theo. LeSieg''' (Geisel spelled backwards) for books he wrote but others illustrated.
He entered [[Lincoln College, Oxford]], intending to earn a [[doctorate]] in [[literature]]. At [[University of Oxford|Oxford]] he met Helen Palmer, married her in [[1927]], and returned to the [[United States]] without earning the degree. The "Dr." in his pen name is an acknowledgement of his father's unfulfilled hopes that Seuss would earn a doctorate at Oxford.
He began submitting humorous articles and illustrations to [[The Judge|''Judge'']] (a humor magazine), ''[[The Saturday Evening Post]]'', ''[[Life magazine|Life]]'', ''[[Vanity Fair magazine|Vanity Fair]]'', and ''[[Liberty magazine|Liberty]]''. One notable "Technocracy Number" made fun of [[Technocracy Incorporated|Technocracy, Inc.]] and featured satirical rhymes at the expense of [[Frederick Soddy]]. He became nationally famous from his advertisements for [[Flit]], a common insecticide at the time. His slogan, "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" became a popular catchphrase. Geisel supported himself and his wife through the [[Great Depression]] by drawing advertising for [[General Electric]], [[NBC]], [[Standard Oil]], and many other companies. He also wrote and drew a short lived comic strip called ''[[Hejji]]'' in [[1935]].
In [[1936]], while Seuss sailed again to Europe, the rhythm of the ship's engines inspired the poem that became his first book, ''[[And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street]]''. Seuss wrote three more children's books before [[World War II]] (see list of works below), two of which are, atypically for him, in [[prose]].
As World War II began, Dr. Seuss turned to political cartoons, drawing over 400 in two years as editorial cartoonist for the [[left-wing]] [[New York City]] daily newspaper, ''[[PM (newspaper)|PM]]''. Dr. Seuss's political cartoons opposed the viciousness of [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] and [[Benito Mussolini|Mussolini]] and were highly critical of isolationists, most notably [[Charles Lindbergh]], who opposed American entry into the war. [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/pm/1942/20213cs.jpg Some cartoons] depicted all [[Japanese Americans]] as latent traitors or fifth-columnists, while at the same time other cartoons deplored the racism at home against Jews and blacks that harmed the war effort. His cartoons were strongly supportive of President Roosevelt's conduct of the war, combining the usual exhortations to ration and contribute to the war effort with frequent attacks on Congress (especially the Republican Party), parts of the press (such as the [[New York Daily News]] and [[Chicago Tribune]]), and others for criticism of Roosevelt, criticism of aid to the Soviet Union, investigation of suspected Communists, and other offenses that he depicted as leading to disunity and helping the Nazis, intentionally or inadvertently. In [[1942]], Dr. Seuss turned his energies to direct support of the U.S. war effort. First, he worked drawing posters for the [[United States Department of the Treasury|Treasury Department]] and the [[United States War Production Board|War Production Board]]. Then, in [[1943]], he joined the [[US Army|Army]] and was commander of the Animation Dept of the [[First Motion Picture Unit]] of the [[United States Army Air Forces]], where he wrote films that included "Your Job in Germany," a [[1945]] propaganda film about peace in Europe after World War II, "Design for Death," a study of [[Japanese culture]] that won the [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] for Best [[Documentary film|Documentary]] in [[1947]], and the ''[[Private Snafu]]'' series of adult army training films. While in the Army, he was awarded the [[Legion of Merit]]. Dr. Seuss's non-military films from around this time were also well-received; ''[[Gerald McBoing-Boing]]'' won the Academy Award for Best Short Subject (Animated) in [[1950]].
Despite his numerous awards, Dr. Seuss never won the [[Caldecott Medal]] nor the [[Newbery Medal|Newbery]]. Three of his titles were chosen as Caldecott runners-up (now referred to as Caldecott Honor books): ''McElligot's Pool'' (1947), ''Bartholomew and the Oobleck'' (1949), and ''If I Ran the Zoo'' (1950).
After the war, Dr. Seuss and his wife moved to [[La Jolla, San Diego, California|La Jolla, California]]. Returning to children's books, he wrote what many consider to be his finest works, including such favorites as ''If I Ran the Zoo'', (1950), ''Scrambled Eggs Super!'' (1953), ''On Beyond Zebra!'' (1955), ''If I Ran the Circus'' (1956), and ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas!]]'' (1957).
At the same time, an important development occurred that influenced much of Seuss's later work. In May [[1954]], ''[[Life magazine|Life]]'' magazine published a report on [[illiteracy]] among school children, which concluded that children were not learning to read because their books were boring. Accordingly, Seuss's publisher made up a list of 400 words he felt were important and asked Dr. Seuss to cut the list to 250 words and write a book using only those words. Nine months later, Seuss, using 220 of the words given to him, completed ''[[The Cat in the Hat]]''. This book was a ''tour de force''—it retained the drawing style, verse rhythms, and all the imaginative power of Seuss's earlier works, but because of its simplified vocabulary could be read by beginning readers. A rumor exists, that in [[1960]], [[Bennett Cerf]] bet Dr. Seuss $50 that he couldn't write an entire book using only fifty words. The result was supposedly ''[[Green Eggs and Ham]]''. The additional rumor that Cerf never paid Seuss the $50 has never been proven and is most likely untrue. These books achieved significant international success and remain very popular.
Dr. Seuss went on to write many other children's books, both in his new simplified-vocabulary manner (sold as "[[Beginner Books]]") and in his older, more elaborate style. In 1982 Dr. Seuss wrote "[[Hunches in Bunches]]". The Beginner Books were not easy for Seuss, and reportedly he labored for months crafting them.
At various times Seuss also wrote books for adults that used the same style of verse and pictures: ''The Seven Lady Godivas''; ''Oh, The Places You'll Go!''; and his final book ''You're Only Old Once'', a satire of [[hospital]]s and the [[geriatrics|geriatric]] lifestyle.
During a very difficult illness, Dr. Seuss' wife, Helen Palmer Geisel, committed [[suicide]] on October 23, 1967. Seuss married Audrey Stone Dimond on June 21, 1968. Seuss himself died, following several years of illness, in [[La Jolla, San Diego, California|La Jolla, California]] on [[September 24]], 1991.
In 2002 the [[Dr. Seuss Memorial|Dr. Seuss National Memorial Sculpture Garden]] opened in his birthplace of [[Springfield, Massachusetts]]; it features sculptures of Dr. Seuss and of many of his characters.
==Artwork==
Seuss's earlier artwork often employed the shaded texture of pencil drawings or watercolors, but in children's books of the postwar period he generally employed the starker medium of pen and ink, normally using just black, white, and one or two colors. Later books such as ''The Lorax'' used more colors, not necessarily to better effect.
Seuss's figures are often somewhat rounded and droopy. This is true, for instance, of the faces of the Grinch and of the Cat in the Hat. It is also true of virtually all buildings and machinery that Seuss drew: although these objects abound in straight lines in real life, Seuss carefully avoided straight lines in drawing them. For buildings, this could be accomplished in part through choice of architecture. For machines, Seuss simply distorted reality; for example, ''If I Ran the Circus'' includes a droopy hoisting crane and a droopy steam calliope.
Seuss evidently enjoyed drawing architecturally elaborate objects. His endlessly varied (but never rectilinear) palaces, ramps, platforms, and free-standing stairways are among his most evocative creations. Seuss also drew elaborate imaginary machines, of which the Audio-Telly-O-Tally-O-Count, from ''Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book'', is one example. Seuss also liked drawing outlandish arrangements of feathers or fur, for example, the 500th hat of ''Bartholemew Cubbins'', the tail of ''Gertrude McFuzz'', and the pet for girls who like to brush and comb, in ''One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish''.
Seuss's images often convey motion vividly. He was fond of a sort of "voilà" gesture, in which the hand flips outward, spreading the fingers slightly backward with the thumb up; this is done by Ish, for instance, in ''One Fish, Two Fish'' when he creates fish (who perform the gesture themselves with their fins), in the introduction of the various acts of ''If I Ran the Circus'', and in the introduction of the Little Cats in ''The Cat in the Hat Comes Back''. Seuss also follows the cartoon tradition of showing motion with lines, for instance in the sweeping lines that accompany Sneelock's final dive in ''If I Ran the Circus''. Cartoonist's lines are also used to illustrate the action of the senses (sight, smell, and hearing) in ''The Big Brag'' and even of thought, as in the moment when the Grinch conceives his awful idea.
Interestingly enough, there is some thought that Seuss's Imagery, especially that of ''The Cat in the Hat'' was a metaphor for "sweeping out" communism and ''cleaning out'' the "red".
===Recurring images===
Seuss's early work in advertising and editorial cartooning produced sketches that received more perfect realization later on in the children's books. Often, the expressive use to which Seuss put an image later on was quite different from the original. The examples below are from the website of the [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/seusscoll.html Mandeville Special Collections Library] of the [[University of California, San Diego]].
*An [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/pm/10716cs.jpg editorial cartoon of July 16, 1941] depicts a [[whale]] resting on the top of a mountain, as a [[parody]] of American [[isolationism|isolationists]], especially [[Charles Lindbergh]]. This was later rendered (with no apparent political content) as the Wumbus of ''On Beyond Zebra'' (1955). Seussian whales (cheerful and balloon-shaped, with long eyelashes) also occur in ''McElligot's Pool'', ''If I Ran the Circus'', and other books.
*[http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/pm/10519cs.jpg Another editorial cartoon from 1941] shows a long cow with many legs and udders, representing the conquered nations of Europe being milked by [[Adolf Hitler]]. This later became the Umbus of ''On Beyond Zebra''.
*The tower of turtles in [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/pm/1942/20321cs.jpg this editorial cartoon from 1941] prefigures a similar tower in ''Yertle the Turtle''.
*Seuss's earliest [[elephant]]s were for advertising and had somewhat [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dsads/bizpostcards/postcardD101.shtml wrinkly ears], much as real elephants do. With ''And to Think that I Saw it on Mulberry Street'' (1937) and ''Horton Hatches the Egg'' (1940), the ears became more stylized, somewhat like [[angel]] wings and thus appropriate to the saintly Horton. During World War II, the elephant image appeared as an emblem for [[India]] in [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/India.html four editorial cartoons]. Horton and similar elephants appear frequently in the postwar children's books.
*While drawing advertisements for [[Flit]], Seuss became adept at drawing [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dsads/flit/flit.jpg insects with huge stingers], shaped like a gentle S-curve and with a sharp end that included a rearward-pointing barb on its lower side. Their facial expressions depict gleeful malevolence. These insects were later rendered in an editorial cartoon as a [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/pm/1942/21111cs.jpg swarm of Allied aircraft] (1942), and later still as the Sneedle of ''On Beyond Zebra''.
==Politics==
[[Image:10425cs.jpg|thumb|300px|1941 cartoon by Dr. Seuss depicting [[Charles Lindbergh]].]]
His early political cartoons show a passionate opposition to [[fascism]], and he urged Americans to oppose it, both before and after the entry of the United States into World War II. (By contrast, his cartoons tended to regard the fear of [[communism]] as overstated, finding the greater threat in the [[Dies Committee]] and those who threatened to cut America's [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/pm/1942/20311cs.jpg "life line"] to Stalin and Soviet Russia, the ones [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/dspolitic/pm/1942/20219cs.jpg carrying "our war load"].) Seuss' cartoons also called attention to the early stages of [[the Holocaust]] and denounced discrimination in America against [[Black (people)|black people]] and [[Jew]]s. Seuss himself experienced anti-semitism: in his college days, he was refused entry into certain circles because of a (mis)perception that he was Jewish. Seuss' racist treatment of the Japanese and of Japanese Americans<ref>[http://www.tfaoi.com/aa/1aa/1aa291.htm The Political Dr. Seuss] Springfield Library and Museums Association</ref>, mentioned above, has struck many readers as a strange moral blind spot in a generally idealistic man.
In 1948, after living and working in Hollywood for years, Seuss moved to La Jolla, California. It is said that when he went to register to vote in La Jolla, some [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] friends called him over to where they were registering voters, but Ted said, "You my friends are over there, but I am going over here [to the Democratic registration]." Seuss had since been a lifelong [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]].
Seuss' children's books also express his commitment to social justice as he perceived it:
*''[[The Lorax]]'' (1971), though told in full-tilt Seussian style, strikes many readers as fundamentally an [[environmentalism|environmentalist]] tract. It is the tale of a ruthless and greedy industrialist (the "[[Once-ler]]") who so thoroughly destroys the local environment that he ultimately puts his own company out of business. The book is striking for being told from the viewpoint (generally bitter, self-hating, and remorseful) of the Once-ler himself. In [[1989]], an effort was made by [[lumber]]ing interests in [[Laytonville, California]] to have the book banned from local school libraries, on the grounds that it was unfair to the lumber industry.
*''[[The Sneetches]]'' (1961) is commonly seen as a satirization of racial discrimination.
*''[[The Butter Battle Book]]'' (1984) written in Seuss's old age, is both a parody and denunciation of the [[nuclear arms race]]. It was attacked by conservatives as endorsing [[moral relativism]] by implying that the difference between the sides in the Cold War were no more than the choice between how to butter one's bread.
*''[[The Zax]]'' can be seen as a parody of all political hardliners.
*''[[Yertle the Turtle]]'' (1958) is often interpreted as an allegory of tyranny. It also encourages political activism, suggesting that a single act of resistance by an individual can topple a corrupt system.
*Shortly before the end of the [[Watergate scandal]], Seuss converted one of his famous children's books into a [[polemic]]. "[[Richard M. Nixon, Will You Please Go Now!]]" was published in major newspapers through the [[newspaper column|column]] of his friend [[Art Buchwald]]. Nine days later, Nixon went.
*Seuss's values also are apparent in the much earlier ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'' (1957), which can be taken (partly) as a polemic against [[materialism]]. The Grinch, thinking he can steal [[Christmas]] from the Whos by stealing all the Christmas gifts and decorations, attains a kind of enlightenment when the Whos prove him wrong.
*''[[Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose]]'' (1948) is often considered to be making a statement about [[hunting]].
*''[[Horton Hears a Who!]]'' is said to be a response to the atomic bomb. Also, one of its lines, "A person is a person, no matter how small," has been used as rhetoric against abortion rights. However, Seuss threatened to sue an anti-abortion group for their use of the phrase. His widow, also strongly pro-choice, has reiterated these criticisms. A lawsuit was filed in Canada in 2001 on this issue.
==Adaptations of Seuss's work==
For most of his career, Dr. Seuss was reluctant to have his characters marketed in contexts outside of his own books. However, he did allow a few animated cartoons, an art form in which he himself had gained experience during the Second World War.
In [[1966]], Seuss authorized the eminent cartoon artist [[Chuck Jones]], his friend and former colleague from the war, to make a cartoon version of ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas!]]''. Seuss, as "Ted Geisel", is credited as a co-producer along with Jones. This cartoon was very faithful to the original book. It is considered a classic by many to this day, and is in the large catalog of annual [[Christmas television special]]s. Several more animated specials based on Seuss' work followed, including cartoon versions of ''[[Horton Hears a Who!]]'' , ''[[The Lorax]]'' and ''[[The Cat in the Hat]]'' in 1971, but the latter was considered less successful.
Toward the end of his life, Seuss seems to have relaxed his policy, and several other cartoons and toys were made featuring his characters, usually the Cat in the Hat and the Grinch. When Seuss died of cancer at the age of 87 in [[1991]], his widow Audrey Geisel was placed in charge of all licensing matters. She approved a live-action film version of ''[[How the Grinch Stole Christmas]]'' starring [[Jim Carrey]], as well as a Seuss-themed [[Broadway theater|Broadway musical]] called ''[[Seussical]]'' (both released in [[2000]]). A [[The Cat in the Hat (film)|live-action film]] based on ''[[The Cat in the Hat]]'' was released in [[2003]], featuring [[Mike Myers (actor)|Mike Myers]] as the title character. Audrey Geisel was said to have been very vocal in her dislike of the film, and is believed to have said there would be no further live-action adaptations of Seuss' books.{{MS-NBC "Seussentenial: 100

Dr. Seuss' books and characters also now appear in an amusement park: the [[Universal Orlando Resort#Seuss Landing|Seuss Landing]] 'island' at the [[Universal Orlando Resort#Islands of Adventure|Islands of Adventure]] [[theme park]] in [[Orlando, Florida]]. Product tie-ins (cereal boxes, and so on) have also been implemented.
In November [[2004]], an edition of [[MAD Magazine]] ([http://www.collectmad.com/madcoversite/index-covers.html Mad #447]) featured a cover story in which lines from Seuss' books were compared with supposedly similar lines from speeches made by [[George W. Bush]]. It was titled "The Strange Similarities Between the Bush Administration and the World of Dr. Seuss." The cover drawing was of a Cat in the Hat that resembled Bush.
*An episode of [[My Life As a Teenage Robot]], "[[Dreamscape]]," is an homage to Dr Seuss cartoons.
==Trivia==
*On the season premiere of [[Saturday Night Live]] following Dr. Seuss' death, the Reverend [[Jesse Jackson]] was a special guest during the News segment. He declared that "rather than reading from First or Second Samuel, I will read from 'Sam I Am' by the Prophet Seuss," whereupon he read ''Green Eggs and Ham'' in the style of a preacher giving an impassioned sermon.
*On December 1, 1995 The University Library Building at the [[University of California, San Diego]] was renamed [[Geisel Library]] in honor of Audrey and Theodor Geisel for the generous contributions they have made to the library and their devotion to improving literacy. The Geisels were long-time residents of La Jolla, where UC San Diego is located. A sculpture of Dr. Seuss decorates the grounds of the library. Its Mandeville Special Collections Library contains many of his papers.
*'''Dr Seuss''' was frequently confused, by the US Postal Service among others, with '''Dr Suess''' (cf [[Hans Suess]]) his contemporary living in the same locality, [[La Jolla, San Diego, California|La Jolla]]. Ironically, both names have been posthumously linked together: The personal papers of [[Hans Suess]] are housed in the ''Geisel Library'' at [[UCSD]] [http://orpheus.ucsd.edu/speccoll/testing/html/mss0199a.html].
*Dr. Seuss was a friend and drinking partner of crime author [[Raymond Chandler]], who was also a resident of La Jolla.
*The [[National Education Association]] celebrates March 2nd, Dr. Seuss' Birthday, as [http://www.nea.org/readacross/faq.html Read Across America Day]. Also known as some version of 'Read Dr. Seuss Day', some adopt the civic as well as fun responsibility to read a Dr. Seuss book to another.
