Hoffman Honored
Hoffman never married, regarding himself as "married to the drawing board". His Jeff Cobb developed a loyal following of readers in the U.S. and abroad, especially in Sweden. When it ended in 1975, "a victim of the phase-out" of newspaper continuity strips in general, Hoffman turned to freelance work and University of Toledo alumni projects. He has continued living in his native Toledo, and in 2004, on the 50th anniversary of Jeff Cobb, he was honored there by appreciative fans—and by a collection of fellow cartoonists' caricatures each sporting a Jeff Cobb eye-patch.

And manners, climates, councils, governments,

Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;”
