Literature Fact

 "One fish, two fish, red state, blue state!" Theodor Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) was a children's author extraordinaire, but were you aware that he was also briefly a political cartoonist? He drew for the left-leaning PM daily newspaper from 1941 to 1943 -- a two-year period that came after Geisel (1904-1991) started writing children's books, but before he created iconic works such as "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish" and "The Cat in the Hat." Some say Geisel's cartoon "Uncle Sam" was a prototype for the hatted cat's physical appearance. Both have certainly made some mischief.
