Welcome!

 
Welcome to Geoff "Jeff" Hook's web site. Featuring a twice weekly cartoon, cartoon archives, book details, and other art work, there's plenty to see and you can order, or even commission, an original artwork of your own through the services page.

After over 40 years as an Australian cartoonist, Geoff has now "officially retired" from cartooning and is now devoting all his energies to his painting and sketching, so we will no longer be running current cartoons here on the web site. Don't go away though! We've years' worth of cartoons yet to be shown, so we'll be still running two cartoons a week and while they may not have been drawn yesterday, you will probably note that, perhaps, in the world of politics, not a lot has changed...

The next cartoon will be up on 27th May with more to follow!

News! May 2013

Planet of the Honkerzoid has been released as a musical e-book for the iPad, complete with Geoff's original art-work and music. Written and scored by Geoff's son Brendan, the story is a must for any young or young at heart musicians. For further details see e-book's listing on the iTunes Store

Feature Galleries:

Views of Victoria and Tasmania. A further 27 paintings have been added to the realist art gallery, featuring works from some of Geoff's recent exhibitions. See the gallery here.
Taxation Gallery. When Benjamin Franklin once said that there were only two certainties in life, one of them was taxes. What he should have said was that there were three certainties, the last being that where governments tax the populace, the cartoonists will comment! See 35 years of the "highlights" of government revenue raising in Australia in the taxation gallery.
 

With the release of the Federal Budget there is a lot of focus on overseas debt at the moment. A look back!

Getting to work! - 8th March 1991

There was a recession and Labor Prime Minister Bob Hawke and his government were promising economic recovery.

Meanwhile in Tasmania the Greens held the balance of power and the Liberal pro-Gunns Gray government was attempting to support the timber industry. Scandal surrounding this led to a Royal Commission.

Can't find the hook?
