Dr. Seuss became the great artistic recycler—an exemplary model of efficiency and resource conservation, never throwing out a doodle, a verse, or an offhanded notation of an idea. A scrap of paper from 1926 could be the catalyst for a major book forty years later, a composition from an early editorial project the basis for a significant painting. Ted used many of the components in his short-lived 1935 “Hejji” comic strip in this elaborate painting—Tower of Babel.
