Everybody knows about Dr. Seuss’ illustrious career as writer/illustrator of legendary children’s books like “The Cat In The Hat” and “Green Eggs And Ham”, but did you know that once upon a time the good doctor tried his hand at creating some “adult” content?

Way back in 1939, when Seuss was in transition from Vanguard to Random House publishing, he made an agreement with his new publisher which allowed him to put out an adult themed book of his choosing, and so “The Seven Lady Godivas” was born.

The content is quite tame by today’s standards of adult content, but it definitely delivers that Seussian style you know and love.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
