Bike magazine

Fell on the mat this morning. P.74 top pic, me on the Zed, and my
Greatescape diary and pics on p 40.

<Smug grin.>

 

July "Bike"? Mine has an advert for Frank Thomas on page 40 and only one
pic on page 74.

<puzz.expr.>

 

Given that we're more than half way through June, it's likely to be the
December edition given the way that publication dates seem to get
earlier and earlier.

 

No, page 40 of the December issue has Ewan McGregor going to the South Pole
on the new turbo-electric fly-by-wire Piaggio Zip.

 

Bike's a ripoff now. I've read all the Ogris.

 

It's already August in Bikeland

As they don't appear to be printing Ogri any more, you have nothing to
worry about.

Oh look, an old Bloodrunners strip...

 

Now *there* was a crap cartoon.

 

No more Ogri? <fx: faints>

 

I only buy Bike when I'm in it.

 

Graphics were good. Very good, actually. Storyline was crap. And it was
the only cartoon I've read where the author, in the frames, attacked
people who wrote letters in to say his cartoon was crap. Which it was.

And the "Who is Jack Shit?" line that he hoped would keep it running
really needed the first three words changed to : "Who gives a".

 

TOG's got the right idea, it was in his bog

 

Looks like Ride now.

 

I liked it. A bit.

Mind you, Fred Gassit knocks spots off any other motorcycle cartoon
strip.

 

That's where I keep my copy.

Hadn't noticed the lack of Ogri but it was always shit so I never looked
there anyway.
