Biography
Clint Clobber is a corpulent, grumpy, middle-aged man with severe temper problems, often going red in the face when angered. He was more graphically brutal in punishing Tom's mistakes when compared to Mammy Two Shoes: beating and thrashing Tom repeatedly, searing his face with a grill, forcing him to drink an entire carbonated beverage, etc.

He played different roles in the shorts he appeared in: a fisherman in Down and Outing, a chef in High Steaks, and a hunter in Sorry Safari.

Behind the scenesEdytuj
Clint bears a slight resemblance to Clint Clobber, one of Gene Deitch's original characters who appeared in Terrytoons shorts from 1957 to 1959. It was rumored that the two characters were the same. According to Deitch, however, these similarities are coincidental.

Clint was very unpopular among fans of the series, as he was shown to be very brutal to Tom for his actions (most of which were not his fault), sometimes bordering on animal cruelty.
