Cartoon frame depicting a typical situation in a long-running cult-series of motorcycle-scene based stories in a monthly UK motorcycle magazine. Each edition starting from 1970s had a single-page storyline. The copyright is believed to belong to the artist Paul Sample and the then-publisher, EMAP

One whole frame chosen from eight in one magazine edition

Resolution and file size (66kB) are very low due to low-tech Black and White printing on poor paper originally, which has now aged. The physical size at 178,182 is over the guidelines of 110,000 pixels to give adequate rendering of the complex content for the viewer. Please see additional oversizing rationale information below.

To convey the article content in a way that words alone cannot adequately convey and as the primary means of visual identification of the subject, Ogri and a main character, Malcolm

Unique to the artist, not replaceable

Rationale for oversizing: This is an image chosen from many available in several editions of a 1970s magazine held by the uploader. The cartoon frames are hand-drawn, with irregular edge-lines, of variable proportions and can be up to twice this size, often of 'panoramic' proportions.

The article's original prose states "...a lot of the pleasure in the cartoons comes from looking at the detail in the cartoon frames; there is almost inevitably a subplot going on".

This frame was chosen for the depiction of the main characters together with a simplistic 'subplot', being far easier to decipher than other frames having more complex interactions of people, animals, several call-outs indicating speech and thoughts, and with several variations in texture and shading.

To reduce the physical size further would prevent the viewer from appreciating the nuances which are part of the art-form and intrinsically the purpose of the artist's work for which he is famed.

A reference in the article [1] states some original artwork was sold at auction in 2010 for £55,000 (GB Pounds), therefore one low-resolution frame from a full-page containing 8 frames in a period magazine produced in many thousands has ostensibly no intrinsic value, so there would be no reason to produce copies from this base-image.
