How I met Dr. Seuss Updated Mar 14, 2021; This is an opinion column. Last week in my ‘If I Ran the Cancel Culture Zoo’ post, I teased: “I met Dr. Seuss, he drew me a toon. I’ll tell you all about it one day real soon.” That day is here. This is my Dr. Seuss story. Close your eyes and imagine you are five years old. It’s almost Christmas and you’ve just been given the news: You won a trip to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus! Now you know how I felt when I met Dr. Seuss.
