Gavspotting!
Okay, so I happen to personally be as visually distinct as any comic strip
character. I like my uniqueness. But the question on everyone's lips is,
WHO IS MORE CAMEOED? Gavcharacter or Gavartist?
Ever since I made my pointy-nosed blue-locked mug public, it's been a real
challenge to figure. This page attempts to tally it up and find out. It's
a race. Vote for your favorite by cameo or fun art!
NOTE: I haven't yet added Fun Art to this page. I'll be doing so sometime before the heat death of the universe..

In a picture on the wall in one of the three El Goonish Shive "Filler" strips featuring me, which is a bit annoying, because technically, this cancels out the EGS Gavspottings. But then, John Troutman did the same later, by transforming Gav into a chick in an EGS guest strip.

In addition, other Nukees characters have some degree of popularity,
but they fall far behind in the Gav race:
