That was a result of the Hayes Code which was voluntary self-censorship guidelines by the Motion Picture Association. Hayes Code was enforced 1934-1968, so this comic predates it. Its actually pretty wild watching films from the late 20s and early 30s that are from before Hayes; they’re surprisingly racy and boundary-pushing at times.
