Bork (voiced by Neil Ross) was a tribal chieftain in the Garfield and Friends episode "Model Behavior".
Physical Appearance[]
Bork is gruff in appearance. Though muscular, he is compact, seemingly without a neck, and besides his few strands of long, thin hair, he has miniscule hairs around the extremities of his form.
Bork dresses himself in a Hyborian fashion, wearing a fur kilt with a webbing belt, fur boots made of poorly-cured leather, studded armbands, a horned leather helmet, and dangling from his neck, a skull-shaped amulet. When seen in full pose, Bork carries an unsheathed short sword, and a bag on his webbing belt.
Personality[]
Bork can be described as a possessive, gluttonous, selfish, and barbaric man. He is feared by everyone in the area and thus is the only one able to eat at the inn, even going so far as to steal food from the other patrons. The only reason he has any interest in Mariah is because she is the cook at the inn and will pulverize anyone who says otherwise.
His vocabulary range is small, using simplistic words spoken in a harsh tone. Whenever possible, he reinforces his verbal messages with body gestures.
During the later part of the episode, Bork's nature as a bully who revels in harassing those weaker than himself comes to an end. When facing the dragon, rather than fighting his way out of the peril, he flees and never returns.

Trivia[]
- Bork is seemingly a parody of savage warriors from heroic fantasy, such as Conan the Barbarian.
- While chasing Jon the Cartoonist, Bork speaks with a mock German accent, an apparent spoof of Arnold Schwarzenegger's portrayal of Conan in the 1982 movie.
