Barry McKenzie

Barry McKenzie is a fictional comic character created by Australian cartoonist Greg Sheridan in the 1970s. Portrayed as a humorous, often mischievous Australian yobbo, Barry's adventures highlight Australian culture and stereotypes through satire and comedy. The character gained popularity in comic strips, and later, a 1972 film titled "The Adventures of Barry McKenzie" was released, starring Australian actor Barry Crocker. The film humorously depicts Barry’s Aussie lifestyle and attitude, serving as a comedic reflection of Australian identity during that era.
