Doesnt surprise me the guy is a pervert, he liked children after all. "Pervert"? Because he admired the female form? Most conservatives consider that normal for the male of the species. Doesn't make him a pervert by any stretch.

I have two copies. It’s cute. Not offensive. The kids were allowed to read it when they were little. Didn’t harm them in any way.
Not Dr. Suess’s best. Not his worst.

They may be worth a bit of money. You might want to investigate.

My dad let me read some rather colorful writers work when I was about 13 or so. Most Freepers have seen The Christmas Story few I bet have read it. LOL Jean Shepherd wrote adult stories and Christmas Story and Ollie Hopnoodles Haven of Bliss movies were adapted to family TV. The written versions are priceless and more in character with what a person would expect in the venue. The old man in the written versions was a riot. Shel Silverstein was another good one who could write either for adults or kids.

I saw these at the Dr. Seuss exhibit. They were pretty much nothing compared to some of his other stuff. As far as the subject matter goes, it was less than PG.

That version of descending a staircase is hilarious! Years ago Looney Tunes artist Chuck Jones did portraits of famous impressionist paintings with cartoon characters — look up his Nude Duck Descending a Staircase with Daffy. (I bought his Vincent Van Coyote instead).

I love Zardoz.
The music, the acting, the story, and the cinematography are woven into a tapestry of perfection with internal consistency.
It is a lovely movie in every way.
Criticizing Connery for acting (beautifully) in a "loin cloth" was petty, and it appealed more to giggling idiots and children than to anyone who could intelligently critique the movie.
Get your thumb off my last nerve! ;-P
