"Oh the thinks you can think,
Think and wonder and dream
Far and wide as you dare/
When your thinks have run dry,
in the blink of an eye
there's another think there!"

Thinking back on my memories seeing the original cast of Seussical 20 years ago. The musical was unsuccessful, but seeing it was one of my happiest theater memories ever. And the opening number is still one of my favorite openers of all time.

I decided pretty quickly to not try and imitate the Seuss drawing style. It's much more honest (and less stressful) to draw it in my own style with a few vaguely Seussian touches and hope they blend.

So I drew the Cat, who serves as the show's narrator, conjuring up the Seussian characters with a snap of his fingers - Horton, Jojo, Mayzie, Gertrude McFuzz, the Sour Kangaroo, the Wickersham Brothers, the Mayor of Whoville and his Wife, and General Genghis Khan Schmitz. Things 1 and 2 weren't actually featured in the original show as I recall, but I have seen local and school productions since then that included them as the Cat's silent helpers.
