Perhaps not really known outside the UK, but I've no doubt some of you were avid readers of BIKE magazine 'back in the day' and looked forward to your monthly fix of the (mis)adventures of Ogri, Malcolm and Mitzi.

I loved the Ogri cartoons in Bike. In the 70s and 80s it was the best of the magazines for me and Ogri was the best thing about it, I always went to the inside back page to read Ogri first! It wasn't just the art work which was great and you could go back and back to it and see something you missed in each frame the last time you looked at it, but the stories were great too, They were things you might have done, or one of you mates did or mostly what you wish you had done!
RIP Paul (and Ogri, Malcolm, Mitzi and Kickstart).

I saw that in the comments section of a YouTube channel I watch. Like brands77 I too went to the back for Ogri and the line ads/personal (anything goes??) were always good for a laugh too.
Nothing on the Bike site, hopefully they will do something.
