I was encouraged to post my response to some comments in this description, so here goes:

Thank you everyone. So many positive responses.

As for a little insight into the making of this:

I made the story up as I went. I had no idea who I was going to have him fight when I started it- I just wanted to do a story about a character that wasn't your typical Australian steriotype.

As mentioned the title comes from the name given to Aboriginal's by both black and white people. I don't see why it would be considered offensive. The character is meant to be a bit of an enigma, so giving him a real name didn't seem appropriate.

The character is one I have worked on for a while, but never gotten around to doing anything with him. I posted some concept art here: [link]

I'd love to do a Goon style comic with this character.
