A green-background comic. In profile in the foreground, an annoyed older man with gray hair and glasses faces a red-haired woman in a purple top who is holding a stack of yellow manuscript pages. He says, "Oh come on. Another book of verse?" She replies, "Yep. It's called 'The Splootch,' and it's an allegory for how you don't do the dishes as often as me." A caption beneath reads: "Dr. Seuss had a terrible domestic life." The votey shows a sample of the verse in Seuss-style rhyme: "The Splootch did no dishes / Did no dishes, indeed. / And the Splootch, it began / from its pores now to bleed!"
