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 6th September with more to follow!

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 new 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.
 

September 2nd, and still no final decision in Australia. Another look back elsewhere!

Who'd want the job? - 11th February 1969

Sir Paul Hasluck had resigned from politics on the 10th February 1969 and had been offered the position of Governor General by Liberal Prime Minister John Gorton.

Sir Paul became the 17th Governor General and was the 4th Australian to hold the position. His scholarship was well known. John Gorton, and before that William McMahon, had been preferred over him for leadership roles in the Liberal Party.

Can't find the hook?
