While drawing this cartoon I was reminded of my favourite cartoonist as a child – Jeff Hook. His cartoons appeared daily in the local newspaper and were topical and political – not that I was interested in that part. It was having to find that teeny-weeny little hook he always hid in his cartoons. Our school teacher used to cut it out from the paper and stick it in a scrap-book for us all to look at daily. He still works too (born 1928), but officially retired. You can see his old and new cartoons by checking out his website
