Features: Open this comic book, and let's get to know this kid first. His appearance—bald head, crooked nose, a pair of vacant eyes, wearing a tank top, shorts, and a pair of bulky shoes. His "file"—Name: Henry; Age: 10; Likes: playing, pranks, punishing villains, helping good people; Dislikes: math, exams, bathing, doing chores, getting spanked. Well, we can roughly see what kind of foolish things this 10-year-old blockhead might do and what kind of hilarious scenes he might stage!
Henry, though not a diligent student or fond of chores, is bound to find something to do, looking for some fun. And so, he goes to help his parents and the workers, despite his good intentions, he always does things his own way, doesn’t consider the consequences, acts smart, and thinks he knows best. The result is always the opposite of what he intended—making things worse, achieving the opposite of his good intentions. He loves to use his wits and enjoy pranks. A small lie or a mischievous trick can make adults look foolish and trick his friends.
He’s a mischievous kid, a blockhead! But this blockhead has a kind heart, loves to argue, and takes up the cause of the wronged. However, his methods of handling things often defy common sense and are always unexpected, making people laugh. The blockhead is clever and, when facing villains, acts quickly and turns danger into safety. But the blockhead also has his unlucky days. He stubbornly insists on his ways, acts rashly, or creates trouble out of nothing, eventually ending up in an embarrassing situation. The mischievous kid becomes the unlucky one.
