Henry_(comic)

Henry in Betty Boop with Henry, the Funniest Living American (1935).

Henry is a comic strip created in 1932 by Carl Anderson. Henry, the star of the strip is a young bald boy who almost never speaks. With the exception of a few early strips, Henry communicates only through pantomime. The Saturday Evening Post was the first publication to feature the comic. After seeing a German translation of the strip, William Randolph Hearst signed Anderson\'s strip to King Features Syndicate, and began distributing the comic in 1934; Sunday strips first appeared in 1935.

In 1948, Anderson died and the comic continued to be drawn on weekdays by John Liney and on Sundays by Don Trachte. When Liney retired in 1979, the strip was continued on Sundays only until Trachte\'s death in 2005. During that period, Jack Tippit and Dick Hodgins, Jr. also contributed to the strip. About 75 newspapers still run classic Henry strips drawn by Trachte.

Henry also appeared in a Fleischer Studios animated cartoon alongside Betty Boop, \'\'Betty Boop with Henry, the Funniest Living American (1935).

Comic book

Dell Comics published a color comic book called Carl Anderson\'s Henry, 61 issues from 1946 to 1961. Henry spoke normally in it, as did all the other characters.
