Geoff Pryor
For the Australian rules footballer, see Geoff Pryor (footballer).
Geoffrey Pryor (born 1944 in Canberra[1]) is an Australian political cartoonist who was the editorial cartoonist for ''The Canberra Times'' newspaper between 1978 and 2008.[1] During this 30-year career, Pryor generally drew seven cartoons per week for the newspaper.[1] Pryor's style was influenced by his predecessor at The Canberra Times, Larry Pickering.[2] His graphic style is ornate, much more detailed and portrait-like than that of such contemporaries as Patrick Cook.
