John J. Liney (1912 – January 29, 1982) was an American cartoonist, who drew the daily ''Henry'' comic strip for 44 years. Growing up in Philadelphia, Liney attended the George C. Thomas Middle School and South Philadelphia High School. He was working as a cartoonist at the ''Philadelphia Evening Ledger'' when he began selling gags to ''Henrys creator, Carl Thomas Anderson in 1936. He continued as a gagwriter until 1942, penciling the strip for Anderson from 1942 to 1945. When Anderson became ill, Liney took over the daily strip in 1945.〔(Baxter, Art. ''Henry'' Bibliography )〕〔(Crouch, Bill. "Speak to Me, Henry", ''Great South Bay Magazine''. )〕 ==Comic books== During the 1940s, Liney taught cartooning at Temple University. He also drew the ''Henry'' comic books: Dell's ''Four Color'' #122 (October 1946) and #155 (July 1947), followed by 65 issues of Dell's ''Henry'' from 1948 to 1961. Anderson died in 1948 and Liney continued drawing the daily ''Henry''. In 1951, Liney was responsible for guiding the career of illustrator Jerry Pinkney by encouraging him and showing him his studio. Pinkney recalled, "When I was 12 years old, I was selling newspapers on a busy corner in Philadelphia, and John Liney was one of my customers. I realized here was a grown man doing the very same thing I loved doing. I saw the seeds of possibility. I knew if I worked hard, there would be some end to the process."〔(Britt, Phyllis. "Children's Illustrator Comes to Augusta", ''Aiken Standard'', January 14, 2006. )〕 In 1952, Liney contributed to the USS Iowa's ''Cruise Book'', commenting, "We are both proud and happy to contribute to our bit to your ''Cruise Book''. We salute you and your crew, and will always be available for cartoons or anything else we can offer to the Navy. Thanks for thinking of ''Henry''." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Liney」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
