Following the recent discovery of an original manuscript and sketches by beloved children’s author Dr. Seuss, a new book by the late author will be published in July and at least two other titles are planned, publisher Random House announced Wednesday.

Some where his characters that where later used for his books, other works were quite adult (i.e. nudes) oil on canvas and other media.

That's right, it's:


You choose. Shuffle Duffle Muzzle Muff...

Or, I'm sorry.

You pick.

Also, be careful what you desire. You very well may get exactly what you wish for.

And my edit of my post above, explains what Dr. Seuss was about. It is a wonderful book.

Things will get crazy then.

Look! A new book by John Steinbeck! Or Leo Tolstoy! New music by John Lennon!

You think my postings here on DU are odd now? Just wait until the born again and much improved Artificial Intelligence hunter, with infinite access to internet databases takes over. You ain't seen nothing yet.

I don't have any objection to publication of the "found" works of artists, I just think we should pay a little more attention to newer, living artists who need and deserve every bit of recognition and income they can get.

Dr. Seuss, bless his twisted heart, is dead. Meanwhile there are many struggling artists now living who deserve our support.
