In Popular Culture
- 30 Seconds to Mars front man Jared Leto has directed several music videos under the alias Bartholomew Cubbins, including the song "From Yesterday," and the newest "Hurricane" in which a Dr. Seuss book also appears.
- In 1999, Tom Smith released a Dr. Seuss-themed parody of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" called "500 Hats".
- A theater company in Chicago is named "Theater Oobleck." This also is a tribute to Ted Geisel's brave and wise page boy. "Since they arrived in Chicago 23 years ago, the itinerant ensemble - which takes its name from a Dr. Seuss book, Bartholomew and the Oobleck - has specialized in original works based on incongruous cultural cross-references."

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“Like other secret lovers, many speak mockingly about popular culture to conceal their passion for it.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Here is this vast, savage, howling mother of ours, Nature, lying all around, with such beauty, and such affection for her children, as the leopard; and yet we are so early weaned from her breast to society, to that culture which is exclusively an interaction of man on man,—a sort of breeding in and in, which produces at most a merely English nobility, a civilization destined to have a speedy limit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
