Camera-ready drawing, entitled "Henry".

Object Details

Description
"Henry", created in 1932 by Carl Anderson (1865-1948), features the title character, a young bald boy who is mute. In newspaper comics, Henry communicates only through pantomime. The strip was syndicated by King Features in 1934. After 1948, "Henry" was drawn on weekdays by John Liney and on Sundays by Don Trachte. The strip was drawn until 2005, and reprints continue to be featured in syndication. This is an original drawing of Henry by John Liney.
