Boofhead

Boofhead, a long-running Australian comic strip from Invincible Press, first appeared in 1950 and continued for 31 issues. Created by the artist Paul J. Power, the series follows the misadventures of its titular character, a dim-witted but good-hearted young man navigating the absurdities of everyday life in mid-century Australia. Known for its gentle slapstick humor and distinctive, expressive art, Boofhead became a beloved fixture of local comics, reflecting a uniquely Australian sensibility in a post-war era. Its enduring charm lies in its simple, relatable comedy and its place as a cornerstone of the country’s comic book history.
