The evolution of Henry the Octopus (1992-Present).
Original Design[]
1992: This was Henry's original design. Out of all of Henry's designs over the years, this was the most unusual. The usual Henry costume has two arms, two legs, and 4 tentacles on the body, while this one just has eight legs. Instead of wearing a tartan suit, this design has a vest with stripes. While Henry has an open smile, this rendition has a closed smile.
Costume 1[]
1992-1996: The original Henry costume represents a major departure from later costumes. Jeff was the one who made the very first costume. He has small eyes, eyebrows, and a very pale purple colour. Also, rather than a bowtie, he sports what appears to be a belt on his neck.
