| Carl Thomas Anderson 1965, cartoonist, best remembered for his comic strip Henry. Readers followed the pantomime adventures of the mute, bald-headed Henry in strips which he signed with his familiar signature displaying an enlarged "S": Carl AnderSon. In 1894, his first art job was with the Philadelphia Times where he earned $12 a week drawing fashion illustrations. He was hired by Arthur Brisbane for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World at the end of the 1890s. His strip The Filipino and the Chick ran on the Sunday page of the World, attracting the attention of William Randolph Hearst, who offered more money at his New York Journal. For Hearst, Anderson created Raffles and Bunny, and for the McClure Syndicate in 1903 he drew Herr Spiegelberger, the Amateur Cracksman. Since these strips received only a mild reaction from readers, Anderson began freelancing for Judge, Life and Puck. He also taught through his mail order cartoon course from "The Carl Anderson School, Madison, Wis." In 1933, he sold his first Henry cartoon to The Saturday Evening Post for $50, and it became a regular weekly feature in that magazine. As interest in the character increased, Anderson began to receive fan mail, and his cartoons were reprinted in foreign publications. Hearst was traveling in Germany in 1934 when he saw Henry in the Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung. He sent a cablegram to his syndicate chief, Joseph Vincent Connolly, that simply read, "Get Henry." Connolly took the next train to Madison, where he signed Anderson for King Features Syndicate. Within only months, Henry was being published in 50 American newspapers, including 15 Hearst papers. Anderson continued to work on the strip until his death in 1948. |
