Dr. Seuss

Theodor Seuss Giesel (March 2nd, 1904 - September 24th, 1991), better known by his pen name "Dr. Seuss," was an American author, poet, and cartoonist famous for his books The Cat In The Hat, Horton Hears A Who!, Green Eggs & Ham, The Lorax, How The Grinch Stole Christmas!, and hundreds of others.

For Looney Tunes, he wrote the scripts for many of the Private Snafu cartoons, hence their rhyming dialogue.

Dr. Seuss (aged 87) died of throat cancer on September 24th, 1991. He was cremated, and his ashes were scattered.
