... in 1942 a spoof on Hollywood's Hays Code came out. It was published by Random House and had sixty five drawings. It was entitled With a Hays Nonny Nonny and what the book did was present several stories from the Bible as they would have to be reworked to become acceptable to the censors in the Hays Office, which at that time was the ultimate arbiter of good taste and moral standards in Hollywood.
