Carl Anderson's Henry #28

Carl Anderson's beloved bald youngster Henry takes center stage on this 1952 Dell cover, where he's seen administering what the label cheerfully declares to be "Henry's Healthful Bath Salts" to a smaller child sitting in a wooden washtub — a perfectly wholesome bit of mischief rendered in the strip's warm, rounded style. The deep green background makes Henry's bright red shirt pop, giving the whole scene a cozy, storybook feel. At a dime a copy, this issue offered 1952 readers a charming slice of Carl Anderson's gentle, wordless humor.
