In 1946 William Ellis Green – affectionately known as WEG – drew his first cartoon for The Melbourne Herald. And in 2002 Geoff Hook screwed the lid back onto his ink bottle and retired from editorial cartooning.
In those years – between 1946 and 2002 – Victorians had been treated to 56 years of the best examples of our craft by two of our finest and best-loved cartoonists.
Read an appreciation of WEG and Hook by George Haddon, based on his speech at the 2008 Quills.
