Nonesense! Dr Seuss eventually did accept the pronounciation of Seuss as Soos, but it certainly doesn't mean it was every supposed to sound that way. People who say Dr Soos certainly aren't wrong given that Seuss himself was A-Ok with it....but it was literally without a doubt based on his mothers name, which as you know, rhymed with voice.

Trying to create a rift between his mom's name and his pen name is sort of pointless given that one directly informed the other. And it's also kind of dangerous since most people will find out that his pen name is based on his mom and mentally just simplify it to that, that how most brains work and I'm also pretty sure that's how Theo's brain was working when he originally made the pen name in the first place.
