Dr. Seuss here draws his famous ''Cat in the Hat'' from the 1957 book of the same name. The children's book author adds his original art to a 1971 abstract drawing of a woman done by Diddo Clark, a friend of Seuss'. Dr. Seuss also adds a thought bubble for the Cat that reads, ''I don't know whether the kids did. But I had FUN! Thanks to Diddo.'' Clark, an undergraduate at the University of California at San Diego, taught a class for freshman on the pursuit of excellence in which Theodor Geisel (Seuss) was a guest speaker. Includes 5'' x 11.5'' mailing envelope, postmarked 18 November 1971 from Theodor Geisel's home address, mounted to a 20'' x 6.5'' mat. Very good condition. The 7'' x 16.75'' drawing is matted to an overall size of 9.25'' x 20''. Drawing has been folded for mailing, else fine.
