    It is considered a racist caricature, it's not Seuss's personal style. A different one from Looney Tunes I think. Or search up "mammy black face." There's a term for the asian one, but I can't remember.

    I've got an old looney tunes cartoon set, one episode has a nudie calendar in the background of a good chunk of it. Some other iffy episodes too. It's a gem so far as I'm concerned.

    They're just giving seuss' books a 'rarity' price increase, inadvertently.
