Dr. Seuss

Theodor Seuss Giesel (2 March 1904 - 24 September 1991), better known by his pen name "Dr. Seuss," was an American author, poet, and cartoonist. He is famous for his books The Cat in the Hat, Horton Hears a Who!, Green Eggs & Ham, The Lorax, How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, and hundreds of others.
He was involved with two 1931 Spooney Melodies shorts: "Put on the Spout" and "Neath the Bababa Tree," both of which were distributed by Warner Bros. Not much is known about them.https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/five-favorite-finds-and-top-5-most-wanted/
He also wrote the book Horton Hatches the Egg which was later adapted into the Merrie Melodies short of the same name. He had nothing to do with this adaptation, and it is stated that he was not pleased with Bob Clampett's additions to the story.https://cartoonresearch.com/index.php/animation-anecdotes-125/
During the war, he wrote many of the Private Snafu cartoons, evident through the use of rhyming dialogue. 
Dr. Seuss died of throat cancer. He was cremated, and his ashes were scattered.
