Carl Anderson's Henry #7

Carl Anderson's wordless little everyman is in fine form on this May–June 1949 Dell issue, as the round-headed, ever-silent Henry cheerfully pours a carton of milk over a trough of oats while a curious horse leans over the fence to watch — a perfectly charming bit of kid logic rendered in Carl Anderson's clean, warm linework. Surrounding the central vignette, a lively border of Henry in various poses adds a playful, almost animated energy to the bright yellow cover. A delightful slice of mid-century all-ages comics that captures everything endearing about this gentle, gag-driven strip.
