Quotes by Richard H. Minear (?)

“Willkie won 22,000,000 votes to Roosevelt’s 27,000,000 and eighty-two votes”
― Richard H. Minear, Dr: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel

“Fantasy is a necessary ingredient to living. It’s a way of looking at life through a distorted telescope, and that’s what makes you laugh at the terrible realities. Whimsy, which is a deliberate contradiction of reality, is pure escapism. And without whimsy, none of us can live.” Fantasy and whimsy are not merely necessary for life; they are Dr. Seuss’s stock-in-trade. But there are limits to their reach.”
― Richard H. Minear, Dr: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel: The World War II Editorial Cartoons of Theodor Seuss Geisel

“What? Dr. Seuss, beloved purveyor of genial rhyming nonsense for beginning readers, stuff about cats in hats and foxes in socks, started as a feisty political cartoonist who exhorted America to do battle with Hitler?”
