A comic strip that follows the adventures of Barry McKenzie, a dinky-di but innocent 'ocker' who resides in the London suburb of Earl's Court with his fellow Australian mates. Their lives are filled with much beer drinking, insulting (and being insulted by) pompous Brits, and the pursuit (largely unsuccessful) of women. Barry Humphries's dialogue, 'rich' in colloquial speech, celebrates all manner of grotesque behaviour and attitudes.
