Adapted posthumously from the 1968 original ink and watercolor on bristol board.

Fooling Nobody has all the characteristics of an accomplished surrealist painting, yet also illustrates Dr. Seuss’s unique ability to convey an important message. Ted seems to suggest that no matter how big, inflated, or different the image we may try to portray is, in the end being ourselves is most important―for despite heroic efforts, we are really fooling nobody.
