Helpful Henry

Helpful Henry

Helpful Henry was a comic strip in the UK comic The Beano. It first appeared in Beano issue 1, dated 30 July 1938.

The central character is Henry, a young boy who attempts to be helpful but ends up doing more harm than good - usually as a result of a misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

He was also in The Dandy Monster Comic 1939, which came out two months after Beano #1 - it is unknown whether the character moved comic or if this was a preview. However some characters, such as Marmaduke Mean the Miser, only appeared in the annuals, so that could be the explanation.
