He's surely one of the greatest authors of the 20th century. Why doesn't he make any /lit/ top 100 charts?
>thread doesn't mention who he's talking about>have to expand the thumbnail to see the artWhat a fag, your thread deserves to die
>>25419475it's obviously dr. seuss you retard
>>25418331He prescribed literature without the requisite license, and though he was never accused of malpractice, his false claims to a PhD permanently harmed his credibility in the eyes of the board.
>>25419475Welcome to 4chan. Abandon all hope. You're here forever.
>>25418331Where's the ground?
>>25420191underrated post
/lit/ has nothing to saytruly the brainlets board
>>25422075What is there to say? Dr. Seuss wrote rhyming books with very obvious messages to entertain children. They're fine for what they are but you're going to have to explain why it should be considered among the greatest literature of the 20th century.
>>25418331Carle mogs.
>>25422080>implying he doesn’t box his gox in yellow gox box socksi bet you don’t even take licks in lakes Luke Luke likes.
>>25422080his writing is highly original, and many stories are immortal, like aesops
>>25422247Carle's artwork is uglythere I said it
>>25418331well he writes books for very young children. did you not know that? feels like you should be aware of that fact at minimum
>>25423441Not really. The art of making up nonsense words to pad out rhymes in light fantasy stories was already well-trodden ground by the time Seuss started writing. Edward Lear and Lewis Carrol were the originals here.
>>25423468lol oh yeah? is that how it works? somebody does something first, so all other artists decades or centuries later should not even bother trying to have their own take on it, to expand the medium, to even improve on it?it's not surprising this board has bad book takes, but the amount of ignorance over art in general is really startling at times
>>25423490At no point did I say or imply that he did something wrong or bad. I'm only pointing out that he isn't "highly original," which very few writers ever were.
