The name DUFF being already taken, Chris imagined GUFF as standing for Get Up-and-over Fan Fund, which didn't sound so brilliant when we came to do a southward trip.

The comic, done in fl and white works fine; color might actually decrease from the true focus of this comic; interesting stories and (for the most part) actions taken by the characters that could conceivably happen.
Here’s to hoping that Jeff continues coming out with Guff and that future issues will be even longer and more interesting than this one.
Make sure to send Jeff a few dollars and pick up these comics; they may just be the berst thing that the independent scene has to offer.

 Review - Guff: Kicked To The Curb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
When Ashley Guff sings "Last Night" in a voice that sounds a little like what Lennon might have sounded like if they'd needed another take of "Twist & Shout," my throat begins to hurt.
The music is often run-of-the-mill pop/punk that breaks no new ground and falls into a lot of cliche patterns and could even get downright boring if Guff didn't have a great rock 'n' roll voice.
If they take their positives - ability to play their instruments, a powerful sound and a singer that can hold his own with anybody - and build on them, Guff is going to make a real big noise someday.
