Ghu

The first fannish ghod invented by Donald Wollheim and John B. Michel on August 6, 1935. Ghu was either a beetle living on Vulcan or Wollheim personified – or possibly both, depending on who was defining it and when. Various members of the New York Futurians served as acolytes with fitting high-sounding church titles. Ghu's holy color is purple because Ghuists publish using spirit duplicators or hectographs and the primary ditto or hecto carbon is purple. Note that Ghu and GhuGhu are one and the same. Likewise Foo and FooFoo.
