Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go<\/strong> (Random House, 2004)
\n<\/em>In 2004, Payne published – with his good friend, Joe O’Connor – his first\u00a0children’s book.\u00a0“Where Did Daddy’s Hair Go?” is an original tale of one child’s journey\u00a0to understanding\u00a0the phenomenon called baldness.\u00a0O’Connor, himself proudly bald, \u00a0told the story to his children when they were young\u00a0– then realized its story-telling potential for\u00a0his 40 million hairless American brothers and their own children!
\nO’Connor’s story was a perfect fit for Payne’s drawing style. Publishing “Daddy’s Hair” was\u00a0an adventure in itself with saleman-extraordinaire O’Connor criss-crossing the state of Michigan to place self-published\u00a0copies in local Kroger stores. When a Random House rep happened on it one day, she sent\u00a0it to New York where the publishing house saw “Father’s Day marketing opportunity” written all over the whimsical tale. Random House has sold over 10,000 copies since and the book is available here<\/a> at Amazon.com.<\/p>\n

\"Payne<\/p>\n


\n<\/strong>(Distributed \u00a0by Wayne State Press, 2001)
\n<\/em>In 2001, award-winning cartoonist and writer Henry Payne published his first\u00a0anthology of cartoons and articles. Titled “Payne & Ink: The Cartoons and Commentaries of Henry Payne, 2000-2001,” the book chronicles the contentious 2000 election year and its aftermath. Payne’s book is a sweeping look at the issues and personalites that shaped those two years – from the last days of the corrupt Clinton regime to the Florida recount to the first 100 days of President Bush. In additon to his cartoon bulls-eyes, Payne’s articles provide a front-row seat on issues that impact heartland America. Writing from Detroit for The Wall Street Journal, The Weekly Standard, National Review<\/em>, and other publications, Payne’s reports provide a historical perspective on the time’s major stories – most of which still echo today.
