I loved his work.  His satire showed just how ridiculous most politicians are.  He has gone too soon of course and after the year of famous passings we had last year, this continues to put all of our mortality into sharp focus.

Sympathy to his family and friends.

John was a true humble genius

Had the pleasure of working with him a few times and sharing the odd coffee in St. Kilda

RIP John. I shall be watching some of your works tonight.

Extremely sad. A brilliant man. One of the true kings of comedy.

Gee I am going to miss my Clark & Dawes weekly political fix. The man was a satirical genius. By refusing to change his look or personna in his exchanges with Dawes he overcame the blandness of our recent political leaders and concented solely on the hypocrisy or absurdity of their political positions of the day. We need political satire but who will provide that now? 

 I used to pass him in Fitzroy from time to time and he always said g'day with that cheeky grin and the mischievous glint in his eyes. 

RIP John Clark

From Fred Dagg to astute political satirist, via Death in Brunswick, the man was a genius. Sad to seem him go.

What a man. So sad.

 

I remember a plumber working at our place once, just seen Death in Brunswick, commented that it was a boring film, but the screen lit up whenever Clarke was on screen. 

 

And his range! Those books of Australian poetry - some of the funniest writing I've ever read. RACV Milne , Walter Burley Yeats et al

 

Sir Why You Little, you were blessed.
