Cartoonist Does Star Wars Written By Dr. Seuss

[floppylobster]

I'd love to see more of this. The rhythm should be more like -

A presence I sense
which I know must be near
but where lurks this presence?
not here or not there!

This presence I sense
I feel it must be,
that old wily Jedi,
Obi-Wan Kenobi

You're spot on with the rhythm, but on the other hand rhyming "be" with "Kenobi" just doesn't seem very Suessian. However, rhyming "know be" with "Kenobi" is. That rhythm of that part bothered me too, but I couldn't come up with a good solution.

Being Dr. Suess is hard, especially when you don't get to make up the names.

That's so true, but it's fun to try. I was trying to use the artist's framework but I'd love to spend some real time on a project like this and really make it sound 'Suessian'. Dr Suess seems to get stuck in my head, so I might not have a choice. Another try -


This presence I sense,
I sense but can't see -
that old wily Jedi,
my friend, Kenobi.

You don't really get Dr Seuss in the UK, at least not when I was young, so although I know what it is, I can't be amazed by this. I feel like I should be amazed however.

I think you jest,
I disagree,
Green Eggs and Ham,
was great to me.

While young ones scoff,
From Eng-er-Land,
The elders doff,
their caps in hand.

While Horton and the Cat,
may not be as news to you,
The rest of us remember Hat,
Sam, who is, and who hears hoo.

I'm not scoffing, I just have no emotional attachment to the books, and thus it isn't as interesting to me as it would be to someone who grew up on it.

Also, I never said I was from England

I couldn't look at those without smiling, I still can't even think about them without smiling...
Just awesome.

In One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish [http://www.themightyadam.com/] might have been called One Jedi Two Jedi Red Jedi Blue Jedi instead.

Awesome, one of my childhood books fuse with an awesome movie!

 

[Mstrswrd]

That should be a book. Officially sanctioned, at that.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

The pictures are great but I'm not a huge fan of the writing. It needs work. A lot of it.

 

[Evilsanta]

Quite cool. But as i live in Sweden we never really got the Dr. Suess thing here.

 

[Dr.Susse]

As a massive Dr.Seuss fan I have to say

NICE!

 

[Queen Michael]

This is made of win and awesome. I love it!

 

[IDIifferentname]

Tell me how I can spend money on this.

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I can honestly say that I never even contemplated imagining what Star Wars might have looked like through the lens of Dr. Seuss, but now that I've seen it I wouldn't ever want to go back to that pre-enlightenment state of mind. Because this is freaking hilarious - I wholeheartedly approve.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

I want to see a Dr. suess style DBZ.

Now.

AWESOMENESS!!!!!!!!

 

[brodie21]

i think George Lucas will let it happen if he gets a cut of the profits.

 

[Calbeck]

For God's sake, don't give George Lucas ideas.

EDIT: aaaand I just posted that without even seeing what Brodie wrote there. *facepalms*

 

[LitleWaffle]

I just did a nerdgasm and blew a gasget in my nostalgia face at the same time.

Thi- wait, what?

Give the creator props for me. He has brightened my week.
