Timeline
He married Ellen A. Hall in 1977. In 1981, he was director of the first Lambertville Art Shad Festival, and that same year he published a shad cookbook. He also contributed a recipe to The Cartoonist Cookbook (1966).
In 1969, he was named to Who's Who in America, Volume 35. He died in 1990 at the Warminster General Hospital in Warminster, Pennsylvania.
With the death of Bobby Haenigsen in a 1968 car crash, Harry Haenigsen lost interest in his comic strip. In 1970, when Hoest left to start his own strip, My Son John, for the Chicago Tribune New York News Syndicate, Haenigsen chose to end Penny and retired.
The prolific cartoonist Bill Hoest was Haenigsen's assistant on Penny. After an injury from a 1965 traffic accident kept Haenigsen away from the drawing board, Hoest took over most of the work, although Haenigsen still supervised and signed each Penny strip. Haenigsen was also the director of the Bucks County Playhouse and the Playhouse Inn in New Hope, Pennsylvania.
Haenigsen's Jive's Like That: Being the Life and Times of Our Bill was published by Procyon Press in 1947, and there were several Penny collections in 1953 and 1954, published by Prentice-Hall and Simon and Schuster. In 1956, Haenigsen was a contributor to the Famous Artists Cartoon Course.
Penny began because Helen Rogers Reid, the wife of the New York Herald Tribune publisher Ogden Mills Reid, wanted to see a girl as the central character of a new comic strip. Haenigsen launched Penny on June 20, 1943, working with writer Howard Boughner (1908–1990). Comics scripter Kurt Busiek described Haenigsen's art approach with this strip:
Haenigsen was employed briefly at the Fleischer animation studios, and then drew Our Bill for the New York Herald-Tribune Syndicate beginning March 6, 1939. He continued that daily strip until 1966.
In 1931, Haenigsen first moved to Lumberville, Pennsylvania with his wife Bobby, but they stayed there only briefly. Using the stage name Jeanette E. Kerr, Bobby Haenigsen was a singer and dancer who worked with George M. Cohan and as a soloist with John Philip Sousa. The couple returned to the Solebury-New Hope area in 1939 and lived in Lambertville, New Jersey.
Some of his World illustrations were designs for constructing radio sets, and in 1922, he drew for the World his first comic strip, Simeon Batts, about radios and radio listeners. In 1930 he was drawing a humorous round-up of fake news stories comic strip called The News. When the World folded in 1931, he moved to the New York American. He expanded into illustrating for magazines, including Collier's.
Born in New York City, Haenigsen grew up in New Jersey, where he became interested in electricity and cartooning. He began to draw cartoons for a local paper while still in high school. He first studied to become an engineer. In 1917, he took Eugene Zimmerman's correspondence course in illustration. Although he was invited to attend Rutgers University on a scholarship, he followed the advice of the New York Evening World sports cartoonist Thornton Fish and enrolled at the Art Students League in New York, since Fish promised him a job at the New York World when there was an opening. Following employment at the Bray animation studios in 1918, he began illustrating for the World in 1919.
Harry William Haenigsen (July 14, 1900 – 1990) was an American illustrator and cartoonist best known for Penny, his comic strip about a teenage girl. He also illustrated for books, magazines and advertising.
