Where did the first panel (the “Dr. Seuss” parody) come from? There’s no signature or copyright line, and none of the tags seem to match it either. LikeLike

Thanks, Winter: that panel was left in a basket on my doorstep, but I figured somebody would know what it was. LikeLike

The first one was a LOL for me. But then I’ve read, repeatedly, an awful lot of Dr. Seuss.

My guess was that an animal that liked to dress as a human would be a “skinny”.
