Bartholomew Cubbins

Bartholomew Cubbins is a fictional page and the hero of two children's books by Dr. Seuss: The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins (1938) and Bartholomew and the Oobleck (1949). Besides the two books about him—and the stage adaptations of them—Bartholomew Cubbins also appears as a character in the TV show The Wubbulous World of Dr. Seuss. Moreover, he is mentioned in a song by songwriter Bill Pere. Seuss's only film, The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T, has a main character named Bartholomew Collins, who, like his namesake, is a young boy who is wiser than the adults around him.

Robert L. Short (1932 – July 6, 2009), in his book The Parables of Dr. Seuss, points out that Bartholomew shares a name with one of the apostles of Jesus. In Illuminati writings he is one of several archangels left on Earth to battle in the apocalypse. Bartholomew Cubbins is the one who exhorts the silly king into humility and repentance.
