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 2nd February with more to follow!

News! January 2012

Geoff awarded Medal of the Order of Australia

Australia Day 2012 has seen Geoff Hook become Geoff Hook OAM, for "service to the print media as a political and social commentator, and as a cartoonist". At geoffhook.com we're all very proud, and pleased, for him so we thought we would share the news.

For further details and an additional gallery of some of Geoff's work see here.

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.
 

Protests in Canberra over comments about the Aboriginal Tent Embassy. Another look back...

Aboriginal Embassy Torn Down. - 21st July 1972

After the 1967 referendum Aboriginal Affairs had remained in the background and policies were not forthcoming during the Liberal Government of William McMahon. The first tent Embassy outside Federal Parliament House Canberra was set up on 26th January - Australia Day, 1972. It was torn down in a violent clash with Police on the 20th July 1972.
