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 17th May 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 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.
 

Bad behaviour and a code of conduct the topic in Australian Federal Parliament. A look back!

Not suitable for children! - 26th May 1989

Wilson 'Ironbar' Tuckey was one of the leaders in the plot to get rid of John Howard as leader of the Federal Liberal Party. On 9th May, 1989 the plot had been successful and Andrew Peacock became leader of the Liberal Party. John Howard was even more infuriated when Tuckey went on national television to boast about the success of the coup. National Party Leader Ian Sinclair lost his leadership to Charles Blunt at the same time.

Can't find the hook?
