Dr. Seuss: A Sketch of Max from How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

In its October 20, 2025, sale, Heritage Auctions offered a small souvenir drawing by Dr. Seuss. It shows Max, the hapless dog in How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, the 1957 book. Max's head is seen in profile, smiling for once.





The 2011 Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies this sketch is interesting in that Linda Jones Enterprises, the authenticator, is identified as a Chuck Jones company. Jones, of course, is the animator and director of "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!," the 1966 television movie that is still the best adaptation of the Seuss Christmas classic. Could this be merely coincidence? You tell me.
