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 23rd 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.
 

It's Responsible Gambling Awareness Week this week! A look back...

On getting out of recession... - 21st February 1991

Premier Joan Kirner advanced plans for the first casino for Victoria, later opened in 1994. All sides of politics were in favour of the casino as apart from being a local and a tourist venue the tax revenues for the state were seen to be lucrative.

At the time Victoria's economy was going deeper into recession.

Can't find the hook?
