I never cared for Marvin K.

Aside from allusions to Nixon suggested above, the decision for Marvin to go was to me, a child of nine, unjustified, unsatisfying. And if I describe it now I'd say it was the child's version of "Waiting for Godot."

I like "Marvin K. Mooney." It's fun.

Towards the end of my Seuss reading years, my favorite was "There's a Wocket in My Pocket!", with the yeps on the steps and the bofa on the sofa.

LOL! I had a negative reaction as an adult, but mostly because the ending seemed like a cheap out. My kids liked it though. They saw it as a joke.
