Comic book censorship illustrated, 1939

Amid sez, "This is scans of a 1939 Look magazine article about the do's and don't of Hollywood cartoons, with illustrations to boot. Nudity, "the razzberry," cow udders, and 'effeminate' men were all targets of censorship by the infamous Hays Office.

The Hays office, and Hollywood cartoon producers, were just as mindful of young audiences back in the Golden Age of animation as broadcast standards and practices are today. This article, from Look magazine (January 17, 1939), produced with the full cooperation of Leon Schlesinger Productions, illustrates how the Hays Code operates in regards to animated cartoons.
