New theory: Gertrude can indeed hear the Whos just as well as Horton. The musical supports this in many ways.

One, she's the only critter who trusts Horton from the start. Plus, she objects to his court case twice and is overruled both times. (I would have really liked to hear her objections, NGL.)

And two- she literally found his clover for him. How would she be able to know which one it was without hearing the Whos? (As for why it took her seven weeks? They probably got louder as she got nearer.)

I think this also clicks with the "only true Thinkers can perform interplanetary conversation" theory, too.

While it's a little early to talk about the upcoming "Cat in the Hat" movie, based on what I saw in the trailer thus far, I have a small theory that perhaps, Fox in Socks could also be a member of the I.I.I.I. (Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration, LLC). Cat's other co-workers have rhyming names (except for Ron), so I don't see why Fox in Socks wouldn't be another member of the I.I.I.I.

[JoJo has been unable to answer the Cat's riddle- "What's green, hangs on a wall and whistles?"] Cat: It's a herring. JoJo: But a herring isn't green. Cat: You can paint it green. JoJo: But a herring doesn't hang on a wall. Cat: You can nail it to a wall. JoJo: [through clenched teeth] But a herring doesn't WHISTLE!! Cat: Oh, come on, I just put that in to stop it from being too obvious.

A three-part comic illustrating my Seussical AU in which everything is the same- except Schmitz follows JoJo across the minefield, they're both presumed dead, and Schmitz makes it more clear to JoJo (and the audience) that he truly has learned from this and become a better Who.

This AU was actually inspired by an ask reply from @cityoftheangelllls in which she said that she'd like to see Schmitz have a clearer arc in the actual show. Also, I think the dialogue in the last comic could very easily be sung to the tune of "It's Possible".

Bunch of random doodles from my Seussiverse! Left to right, top to bottom:

1. Herbie petting Cogs the cat

2. Philip Wickersham practicing guitar

3. Herbie high-fiving E.B.

4. Ted and Marvin Wickersham thumb wrestling (they're not supposed to look evil, but determined)

5. Herbie giving Schmitz a morning hug as Hannah brings them some breakfast

6. Gertrude's cousin Lloyd (my OC) roller skating

Schmitz: Is it just me, or does the Cat seem a few soldiers short of a platoon? Mr. Mayor: I'm sorry, I don't speak military.

Gertrude: (Throwing rocks at Horton's window)

Horton: Hey, Gertrude, can you please stop that? You do have a phone, you know.

Gertrude: Oh, sorry.

(Loud clunk)

Horton: ... You did NOT just throw your phone at my window.

Character Ask: E.B. Weebie

Not suggested by anyone, but I love her, so I'm going to do it with her! (I haven't seen too much of the second season, so feel free to correct me if I get anything about it wrong.)

Favorite thing about them: Her constant cheer and excitement for life, and also how she adores the Chickeraffe just as much as Sam.

Least favorite thing about them: The way she lashes out at Guy during the sleepover in the game of truth or dare. But even though it was unnecessary, I can see why she did it. See "Unpopular opinion" for more info.

Three things I have in common with them:

I try to find the fun in things whenever I can.

I have gone on long road trips with my family multiple times.

My excitement can get out of control sometimes.

Three things I don’t have in common with them:

I'm not a small, furry creature.

I would probably not enjoy taking care of a chicken-giraffe hybrid, given how my own family's chickens are often aggressive to me.

My father is still alive.

Favorite line: "Man, it feels good to be untucked for once. My mom is totally gonna detect whimsy, but I don't care."

brOTP: Her mother Michellee, Sam, Guy, Mr. Jenkins, and her little half-brother Guy Junior. And in my extended Seussiverse, the other Who kids, especially JoJo, Herbie and Cindy Lou, and (Ex-)General Schmitz when she starts to attend his creativity camp.

OTP: Looka. Right now, their relationship is, in my view, just a really close friendship supported by a crush, but they'll make it official when they get older.

nOTP: Any adult.

Random Headcanon: While she is mostly a vegetarian, she can't help but sneak bites of Camp Director Schmitz's many liver dishes whenever he's not looking. They are just that good.

Unpopular Opinion: Her anger at Guy during the truth or dare game is honestly understandable, even though it was uncalled for. Multiple children don't get along with their step-parents at first, and Guy literally got poor Looka locked up. Besides, she is young, and young people tend to let their anger out that way. I think she did eventually make up to Guy, and I'm sure she'll grow to love her half-brother.

Song I associate with them:

"Backflip", since it is the theme song of the show.

Favorite picture of them:
