As one of the few men in La Jolla who worked from home, Dr. Seuss called himself a “bird watcher on the social scene,” always looking to create gentle spoofs of his chic female friends. The result was Ted’s series La Jolla Birdwomen, a spicy collection of eleven known paintings with lyrical titles, works that could have sprung only from the mind of a genial witness—for example, My Petunia Can Lick Your Geranium, Martini Bird, Gosh! Do I Look as Old as All That!, and Oh I’d love to go to the party but I’m absolutely dead.
