Carl Anderson's Henry suddenly popular
D.D.Degg
A few days ago this Canadian newspaper article
http://www.thepost.ca/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2178813
about Carl Anderson, with no apparent relation to the area.
This article about Don Trachte has a local connection.

And then, today, Ted Dawson blogs about Henry:

If I remember correctly it was someon e somewhere
that mentioned Trachte did the Henry comic books,
though maybe they said it was John Liney that did the books.
Anyway here's a couple of Henry comic books from 1948:

Here's the original Henry from Carl Anderson
and the Saturday Evening Post.

A little searching the above site leads to these
credits for the Henry daily and Sunday strips.
Carl Anderson 1932 - 1945
asst. Don Trachte 1934 - 1941
asst. John Liney (gags) 1936 - 1942
asst. John Liney (p) 1942 - 1945
Don Trachte (Sun.) 1945 - 1995
John Liney (daily) 1945 - 1979
Jack Tippitt (daily) 1979 - 1983
Dick Hodgins Jr. (daily) 1983 - 1990
Sunday ends 1995.
New dailies end 1990.
Dailies presently continue as classic reprints.
Finally the Henry Toonopedia page runs the
very first Henry SatEvePost panel from 1932:

who seems to recall reading the Sunday
Henrys in b&w in the Grit weekly in the 1960s.
Mike B
make the leap to the dailies? Hazel went to TV and
Little Lulu to comic books and cartoons, but did they
or any other become a daily strip?

Liney did the Dell comics (or most of them). He signed them. They're
not bad.

Both Hazel

and Little Lulu
http://comicstripfan.com/newspaper/l/littlelulu.htm
"graduated" from the SatEvePost to syndication.
Mort Walker's Spider
http://www.bdzoom.com/local/cache-vignettes/L450xH506/13_Saturday_Eving_Post-09034.jpg
became the syndicated Beetle Bailey
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Tkt_A2r1p6I/Sk4SmSGUnII/AAAAAAAAE_8/cvY3qBSbryg/s1600-h/beetle-ad.png
with a change from Spider to Beetle because, it is said,
there was another comic strip character named Spider.
Beetle's last name honored SatEvePost editor John Bailey.
Other cartoon series from other magazines have made the
leap to newspaper syndication.
Otto Soglow's The Little King first appeared in
The New Yorker before making his way to King Features.
It wouldn't surprise me to find others from magazines
like Collier's and Look, but my mind is drawing a blank
right now.
The practice has been going on for well over a hundred years.
Palmer Cox's The Brownies (from Wide Awake and St. Nicholas)
and James Montgomery Flagg's Nervy Nat (from Judge) both
were syndicated to newspapers in the early 20th Century.
