Henry - worst comic strip ever

For those who are too young to remember, here is an example:

Yes, Henry seems to have no mouth. His skull seems to come a sort of ossified baby's buttocks where a jaw should be (paging Freud!). Doesn't speak at all.

And get a load of old Don Trachte's wikipedia bio (there was one? yes!):

Donald Trachte (May
21, 1915–May 4, 2005) was an American cartoonist.
He graduated from Madison, Wisconsin's Central High School,
attended the University
of Wisconsin-Madison and later served in World War II as a
lieutenant. He started working on comics in 1932 as an assistant of Carl Thomas
Anderson and worked on the Sunday version of the Henry comics from
Anderson's death in 1948 until 1993. (John Liney worked on the
daily comics.) A recent discovery reveals that Trachte created a near-perfect
replica of Breaking Home Ties,
by Norman Rockwell.

So, wait - this poor bastard drew the Sunday version only of the worst comic strip in history for 45 years and the only noteworthy fact from his life that could be scraped up was that he did a Rockwell knockoff? That hardly makes him Han Van Meegeren (http://www.newyorker.com/arts/critics/books/2008/10/27/081027crbo_books_schjeldahl)!

Wow, and here I thought I was depressed before.
