Ogri

Ogri is a cartoon biker character created by British cartoonist and illustrator Paul Sample in the 1970's for Bike magazine in the UK, and has run with interruptions until the present. Ogri is a tough leatherjacketed biker with Thor-like wings sticking out of his helmet. He rides a host of large motorcycles, many home made of British parentage, and is a consummate mechanic, speedster and all round biker. His best mate, Malcolm, is something of a motorcycling disaster zone.

Paul Sample draws well in black and white line drawing as well as colour. A lot of the pleasure in the cartoons is looking at the detail in the cartoon frames. The funny and well observed stories about British bikers usually take place within one page, though 2 pagers are sometimes drawn.

Several compilation cartoon books collecting the strips have been published in the UK.
