Long ago, in a distant time White Dwarf was actually pretty great. It was more than just the glorified catalogue it is now. The White Dwarf of years gone had reviews and articles about non-Games Workshop products, a Letter To The Editor section that took actual criticism, showed off the armies and home-fluff of average joe players, and it even had comics such as Thrud the Barbarian.
Gobbledigook was another such comic which ran in White Dwarf in the late 1980's; it was drawn by artist Bil Sedgewick.

Gobbledigook, or Gook for short, is an unspecified variety of greenskin who appeared in short, usually one-panel comics. Along with his pet spidery-squig-thing, Niblitz (suggesting he may be a Forest Goblin although his small size and affinity with Niblitz who also somewhat resembled a Squig, could also pount to him being a Snotling), the two explored and poked fun at Games Workshop properties including Warhammer Fantasy, Rogue Trader, and Blood Bowl. While Thrud tended to mock the universe from within, Gook would break the fourth wall and mock models in our universe by reacting to their ugliness in-universe, cross tables during game sessions and mix the universes up as people chased him, and tease Games Workshop staff. Notably everyone seems to know his name, and those who enjoy ludicrous continuity could fairly conclude he is a 4th dimensional being similar to the DC Comics' Bat-Mite.
