Eh, fuck, I can't find it...might have it on a disk...hm...I saw the hardcopy sitting around at some point in my files, but as far as the electronic, it may have gone the way of all flesh.  If I can find it, I'll send it on, surely...I did it on There's a Wocket In My Pocket!  The paper was called "There's a Wocket In My Universe!"...

ETA:  Ok, even worse, dammit, I think I threw it away...went out to the garage, could NOT find it...only hope is this damned chest of drawers--I'll look tonight.  Just spent about a half hour looking after my phone call... :argh!:  NO DICE!  Plllhhtttppttt!

:aww:

I know.  I is sad myself.  I'm hoping I'll still come upon it.  :(

*jaw drop*

You poor Eurospags... You don't know Green Eggs and Ham?!  :x

okay so i watched it. very cool.

not the green eggs & ham thing in particular btw, but the Dr Seuss stuff. it seems like i'm going to have to watch more cartoons of his.

it's so weird, it's a drawing style i've always admired, and just came across randomly once in a while, i always thought it was some obscure thing, turns out it just wasnt very well known culturally here. i remember from well random short bits of dr Seuss cartoons i saw on TV, it was very weird and absurdistic, in a kind of "crazy universe" kind of way, i tried lifting some of these concepts to my own cartoons a couple of times, but it felt too much like copying, so i never got far with it (by now i know there's nothing wrong with copying in order to learn a new style--but back when i was younger, i was all about being original by myself).

Seuss prose is iconic in American culture nowadays.  Not many of the past couple of generations were raised without it.  So, being able to reproduce it in a meaningful way is pretty impressive and will garner a lot of cheers and respect, I believe.  Well, from most I know, anyway.

I'd like to point out Brits are not ignorant of Dr Seuss.  I just think he doesn't exactly translate well outside of English, hence the continent probably have not been graced with his incredible writing.

He's been translated into Hebrew, and rather well translated iirc. He is well known in Israel (though not nearly as iconic as he is in the English-speaking world.) But I can somehow imagine how he would be difficult to translate into the languages of Europe.
