Guffaw (at least #4 had subtitle "A fanzine for GUFF in the running headers) was published by Paul Kincaid in connection with the 1999 GUFF Race – first as a collective bidzine/fanthology and after he won, as "The GUFF newsletter" and for his trip report "The Coriolis Effect". The title may have been inspired by the 1980 GUFF-awe but must not be confused.
