In 1948, Anderson died, and the comic continued to be drawn on weekdays by John Liney and on Sundays by Don Trachte. When Liney retired in 1979, the strip was continued on Sundays only until Trachte's death in 2005. During that period, Jack Tippit and Dick Hodgins, Jr. also contributed to the strip. About 75 newspapers still run classic Henry strips drawn by Trachte, and it is also available through King Features' DailyINK.
