Yes, Dr. Suess produced a nude Illustration book….

Pin It



Who would have thought that this could actually be true, but it is. Dr. Seuss came out with the book ‘The Seven Lady Godivas”. I was actually in shock when I found out. I really had to do a little research. Here is some information that I found.

One hundred and eight years ago today, the world welcomed Theodor Seuss Geisel, better-known as Dr. Seuss — legendary children’s book author, radical ideologist, lover of reading. Among his many creative feats is a fairly unknown, fairly scandalous one: In 1939, when Geisel left Vanguard for Random House, he had one condition for his new publisher, Bennett Cerf — that he would let Geisel do an “adult” book first. The result was The Seven Lady Godivas: The True Facts Concerning History’s Barest Family, which tells the story of nudist sisters who, after their father’s death, pledge not to wed until each of them has “brought to the light of the world some new and worthy Horse Truth, of benefit to man.”

I’d have to say that Dr. Seuss drawing nude illustrations is super cool haha It looks like he took the right turn at that fork in the road. His career could have taken a completely different path. He could have become like Hugh Hefner, who knows?
