The following images of drawings have been collected by me over the years from various online sources, all of which claim to show original artwork by Dr. Seuss (Ted Geisel).

November 11, 2012 Update: Steve Stoliar, author of Raised Eyebrows: My Years Inside Groucho's House, has kindly allowed me to include these three personally-inscribed drawings from his collection:

June 9, 2013 Update: Five Green Eggs sold today for $345!
November 2, 2013 Update: Another green egg was sold on eBay in October. The eBay seller has some scruples and is reluctant to list this as a Dr. Seuss original without a Certificate of Authenticity. I have found even Certificates of Authenticity to be next to worthless, and I personally prefer to see an original mailing envelope if there is one or perhaps a photo from the signing. For the record, "attributed to" means the work in question appears to be by the artist but it cannot be proven, while "after" is used to politely designate a copy after the artist's original or style.
