randy_byersJust been watching Fairbanks’ Thief of Bagdad again and am suddenly (and very belatedly) struck by W[illiam] C[ameron] M[enzies]’s very obvious influence on Dr. Seuss. Actually influence seems almost too small a word: Suess’ worlds seem direct caricatures of childhood memories of WCM, and the imagery in some of his books, the landscapes resembling impossibly vast stages, the wobbly parades, feathers everywhere, seven men to a gong, is pretty much identical. Golly!
