Oswald Wiki

Henry is the tritagonist of Oswald.

Description

Oswald's downstairs neighbor and best friend. Henry is a creature of habit in every way and usually shuns the idea of trying different things, though he can sometimes be persuaded otherwise. He does his best to maintain a strict schedule, which includes taking care of his extensive spoon collection, ending every evening watching "Penguin Patrol", his favorite TV show, and doing the Penguin Polka before bedtime. Most of Henry's favorite foods are fish-flavored and he’s a proven expert on snow. He has an identical cousin from the frozen north named Louie (voiced by Michael McKean), and on occasion speaks of an Aunt Arctica. His motto is "slow and steady". He always takes two (used to be three) marshmallows in his hot cocoa, saying "No more, no less." He dislikes getting wet.

Appearance

Henry is black and white. He has blue green eyes (lime green in earlier episodes). His beak and feet are orange.

Henry can best be described as a sarcastic, inconvenienced, yet somewhat level headed penguin, who keeps an introverted, intellectual demeanor alongside his stoic and sassy temper. He's mostly the comic-relief of the show and although constantly being bothered and annoyed by Oswald, he still thinks of him as his best friend and is never rude to him.

Appearances

Henry has appeared in many episodes of Oswald. His first appearance was in "Rollerskating."

Trivia

  • His cousin is Louie.
  • In the credits, Henry tends to struggle more than the others: he falls far behind Oswald while rollerskating, he is not able to get the ball without Weenie's help, and fails to keep his hula hoop up.
