R. B. Clark, or Bob Clark, was the artist of the daily comic strip 'Boofhead', that ran in Sydney's Daily Mirror from 1941 until its creator's death in 1970. The strips were also reprinted in comic books. The popularity of the character led to a statue in a park at Leura in the Blue Mountains and to the popularization of the phrase "boofhead", which means a bit slow, clumsy and unthinking lad.
