Henry is a main character of the Nickelodeon animated sketch comedy series KaBlam! and its short-lived spinoff, The Henry and June Show. He co-hosts with his best friend, June.
Appearance[]
Henry is tan-skinned with freckles and has green hair. He wears a blue shirt designed with an upside-down smiley face, red pants, and yellow shoes.
Characterization[]
In Season 1, Henry is shown to be smarter than June and more like an older brother to her. In the second through fourth seasons, he is more clumsy and dimwitted. In addition, with actor Noah Segan aging as KaBlam! progresses, Henry's voice becomes deeper.
Henry is also prone to the majority of the show's accidents, including getting hurt by Mr. Foot, the show's Sasquatch (Bigfoot).
Henry is also seen as a romantic, having complicated crushes on Action League Now! star Thundergirl (in the Season 1 episode "Comics of Champions") and Dawn, network executive Fred Stockdale's granddaughter, in the Season 4 episode "A Nut In Every Bite!."
Some of Henry's skills include dancing, singing (although unlike June, he tends to be more off-key) and playing the electric guitar.
Relationship with June[]
Henry and June are very close friends, although they frequently bicker (and he often ends up at the receiving end of her jokes). Fans have even considered them being more than that, although Mark Marek, the creator of the Henry and June segments, has confirmed their relationship is "100% platonic." There have been threats to their bond — most notably in the Season 2 episode "Won't Stick to Most Dental Work!," in which Henry got tired of being mocked and left his hosting job — but rejoined the show at the end.
Henry's Lessons[]
Henry teaches about the art of chuckimation in the Action League Now! segments to June in the Season 1 episode "Your Real Best Friend!." Henry also explains to her what a villain (or "antagonist") is and how dull Action League Now! would be without them in the Season 3 episode "Money Train 2." Together, he and June explain the principle of the Accordion Squash in the Season 1 episode "Resistance is Futile," and the phrase "onomatopoeia" in the Season 3 episode "Your Logo Here!."
